Need some help with this one!

[MonkeyDo]

New to this furum; but need some help W/ this one.
Have a business owner that wants a beautiful split-top doug fir down.
He wants it cut to just above the split for a carving. This is a healthy tree! The reason he gives is that it is over-hangiing his food serving area.
The details:
It is split at 10 ft up.
Probably 90 ft tall.
1-2 inch included bark.
Full healthy canopy.
This may seam like a moral question .... but ....

What do y'all think???
:bang:
sorry for the double-post!!!!

Take it down. You can give your arguments to the owner, but in the end, it is his tree and he can do what he wants with it.

Take it down if you don't someone else will.

pics would help. I've done cabling and bracing on split trees before, they grow to this day. Serving food area...pics would help.
