Are those dark splotches evidence of metal in the tree? Seem to remember someone pointing that out before..

 

They might be, particularly the ones near the fingers of the gloves, but the general dark marks are more likely to be from the bar and chain. This cut is very near the ground - effectively 'proper' timber felling height whereas metal is usually more common a bit higher up. In a field setting the first row of barbed wire is rarely below 8" and in a suburban setting bird boxes etc are usually around head height or a bit above. Oak stains up really quickly when making awkward cuts and leaving the bar against the surface, particularly when there's a bit of paint missing. They could also be from when the rootball was dropped off if a lever was used.
