Chairin'em for the sound
Simple. Your word is no good. The landowner can't make a deal with a guy that walks away.
It sounds to me like the landowner's word was no good, if he said he would trade clearing/stumping for the wood, then demanded 60% of the wood. I don't think shearhead should be expected to honor an agreement even though the terms are radically changed midstream. I just did some work for a friend in exchange for a bottle of Johnny Walker black, if he said he was gonna give me a six pack of coors light instead, I'd be pretty pissed
