This elm died last year.  It is 30 inches in diameter.

I have felled no large elms and was a bit apprehensive about tackling this one especially since I only had a 16 inch bar

I cut out the gob and plunged from either side and cut back to leave a tab.   Nicked the tab and ran to as safer place as I could find behind a large sycamore .

the 70 foot tall tree just keeled over gently, exactly where it was supposed to

Now to make some floor boards with the Lucas Mill 

I left the stump high partly because I have a bad back and partly to judge the plunge cuts more accurately
