This old birch tree had to be removed after being infected by a fungus called birch polypore (Fomitopsis betulina).
The decay didn’t make the tree hollow, but it caused serious internal rot and weakened the core of the trunk over many years. A reminder that even strong trees can silently break down from the inside. 🍃🌳

Check out my latest short! It is quite different from what I normally post, but still on the topic of chainsaws.

The ultimate transformation—a humble Stihl fan embarks on a journey beyond mortal limits, ascending through powerful forms until he becomes the Chainsaw Singularity, ruler of infinite dimensions.

Preparing for spring. Removed the snowblade and started putting the cutting deck back on the Husqvarna R216T AWD.
