Speakin of in a row,,,, here is a common sight you will find if you spend any time in the woods in the PNW,,,they are called Nurselogs here is a pic of one of many that I photo'ed,,,, this is just one example for the case for Long bars and fullwrap handles here,,,, This particular photo is of an old growth stump (green bush growing in it) at the rear of the photo that was either harvested in the late 1890's
or just after the turn of the last century if you look close you will notice the tree stumps from recent harvest on the right that are all in a row a bit,, have funny root systems that have runners,,, the reason is they were sprouted on the remains of the old top that was left laying from the old stump,,,, it was common in the old days that if the upper part of the tree had a defect of any kind the loggers would leave it laying and only actually took the bottom section, say 40 foot,,, and the old top was left and as it rots away after time new seedlings sprout in the decaying top,,,, The photo does not do it justice but if you look close you can see the gap between the stump and the off spring that was harvested later or next grotwh. this phenomenon does elevate the stumps of the remaing or offspring trees furthering the need of having a full wrap handle for felling and longer bars and skip chain,,,,,,
