My thought is, if I can set a long fuse and get far out of there that is safer than sawing down a 4 foot wide tree with dead broken limbs bigger than most of the trees around here.
My intention is to use these trees to supply material for hewing timbers, and so one way or another they are going to have to be split. I would have to make sure that the trees are fairly straight grained if I were to use this method.
