My cousin came out and felled his first couple of trees. Here are a couple shots of him in action.

Another maple with the top blown out...

Shot as it fell....

Beech that had blown over...

Oak with the top blown out:

Is this white Oak? The wood was very white compared to the red oaks we normally cut...

More felling

Last shot of the Oak.

This is the Maple that I was asking about in the bucking thread.... Is this shaggy maple? It had a twist split in it... didn't notice till it was on the ground.

I'm pretty sure it was a maple... just not sure what kind. I could be wrong, I'm certainly no expert either. Seemed softer than sugar maple.
