Day 672 – The Widowmaker Tree

This article was originally posted on Jays Custom Creations.
Summary
The author selects a dangerously compromised “widowmaker” tree—with snapped, dangling limbs and a wrecked canopy—as a prime candidate for removal to harvest clean lumber.

What precautions and techniques do you consider essential when taking down and milling a storm-damaged tree like this?
I needed this tree for a clean lumber job. It had a few snapped and dangling limbs, and its canopy was in shambles. Sounds like a good candidate to remove.
