If only!
Well apart from being a huge speading top compressing a multiple split trunk, there just wasn't the room with all the surrounding trees.
Also, I'd have considered it a far more dangerous task to have dismantle such a large limbed, speciman, detached at the base and lying on its side than to deal with an errect one but that was still a anchored at its base.
And Re: the kickback. While I'm not condoning or encouraging misplaced thumbs, lets not overlook the reasons why kick-back happens in the first place. It is not random and at no point during this particular job was I ever, ever at risk of losing control. Its the right thing to point it out, nobody wants to set a bad example, but let me asure anyone who's wondering that my concentration switches to a different level as a risk, any risk, increases.
There's not much gets past this radar. But to operate on such a heightened state of red-alert throughout an entire job would be exhausting. So, as John pointed out earlier, yes I do pace my self but mentaly as well as physically.
Its good to talk guys
