based on the info provided by the OP, I wouldn't even think twice about this POS, cut and dump

To lay it across the woodpile, bore straight in thru the middle, cut toward the lean stopping short and leaving about 10 percent, then still in the bore, cut back away from the lean. As it goes over the bit left will split down the stump and it won't matter if it is hollow or has a rotten center.

I hope he hurrys up and cuts it so we can see. . 1 tree shouldn't take this many guys attention. He better take more pics.

Strangersfaces, if it's not too much trouble, try to shoot a video of what you wind up doing. It's always fun to see how it turns out.
Thanks

I don't think you would hear much. Actually I'd bet a dollar that that cottonwood wouldn't slab no matter what you did to it.
I used to chair good log trees trees when the boss man wanted another load of wood at the end of the day.

Jon,
I'm a wee bit too busy and far away from Utah to help the OP, "Highdesignfool" safely take down the leaner, but I too would like for him to report back in with his success story....
"Highdesignfool"... Come on down with results, the next time you check in...

It's most definitely a Black or English Walnut. There are rotten walnuts scattered all around it.

I'll do it. It probably won't be till next month though.

Don't want to mis-lead you guys, I'm definitely not a logger. I would classify myself as a conscientious DIY'er. ( after you all have your fill of ridicule, )
Can someone describe this "chairing" effect?

hey we ain't laghing at ya, everyone has to start somewere. a chair is when a tree splits up the center wile your still cutting it one half still on stump other half propped up looking like a big T, very dangerous, some timber here is very prone to it. you must bore out the center to prevent on a leaner like that. if you figure out its hollow,a "shell" stop bore cut and go to back cut, when you hear a crack get the hell away from it on a 45 degree angle,this is important in case it "chairs" or slides backward you wont be under it or behind it.....good luck
Damned I haven't seen one chair like that in quite some time...:msp_ohmy:
