In keeping with tradition, the Christmas tree was obliterated when the decorations came down. The hardest part was deciding which tool to use. In years past I've used the AK and the Basic 9 and CF Sarsquatch.
This year I opted for the Rodent Waki with muddy crinkle coat and tan canvas. I needed a zombie invasion refresher anyways.
I wanted a smaller tree this year so I got this doug fir which stands at about 5.5' in the stand. After I put it up I really regretted not getting something about a foot taller. No offense to the lilliputians and dwarfs who frequent this forum, but I really needed to whack this tiny sucker up to remove all evidence of my travesty of a tiny tree.
The methodology is simple: de-limb, then chop.
I like to go at one whole side at a time. It's like cutting the clothes off the tree, and it looks funny.
Then finish off with the Excalibur shot.
Gotta be careful of the screws in the base when attacking the lower limbs. Also be sure not to chop down into the base too many times, because it's no fun answering to the boss woman about that.
