I had to clean up for the gardeners, who show up every other Thursday, so I moved the pile onto the patio. It's quite a little stack now.
And there's the haul after an hour and 15 minutes of cutting and loading. I am green with a chainsaw, but didn't injure myself. It's a low-powered electric with an anti-kickback chain, so it's relatively safe, and very quiet. It makes about as much noise as a hair dryer, if that. Even the cutting of the tree itself is quiet. No need for ear protection, and no annoying neighbors. I just wish it had a longer bar. I don't know if they even make electrics with longer than 16" bars, as torque becomes an issue. Because of this, I was unable to get the trunk pieces and largest branch pieces, which are the ones I really wanted most.
CutUp will take over the Seventeen gallery on Kingsland Road, transforming it into Grand Hotel Abyss, a makeshift studio for a month. Every night during the month, advertising posters from the surrounding area will be cut down, removed and taken into Grand Hotel Abyss, CutUp's temporary home. Here they will be reordered and prepared for their placement back into the spaces they came from.

I couldn't resist turning something like a little bottle stopper top. I couldn't find my arbor, but not really intending to use this piece for anything beyond seeing how the wood looked inside, and how it turned, I just stuck it between centers and had at it. I don't like the design (I was just freeforming to see and feel how it would turn), but I do like the patterns in the wood.
I actually, physically made this with scissors and a glue stick. For that alone, I'm rather proud of it.
I tried to manually resaw this with my favorite Irwin 15" coarse-cut carpenter saw a few months ago, but gave up a bit past halfway, completely spent. My arm was too tired to finish, so I just cut in from the side to free the plank, which is still on a box in my living room, drying (i.e. forgotten :).
I was glad to have a chance to come back and clean up the piece, and free the small turning blanks hidden inside it. This log has been on the shop floor all this time,
