Looks like the tree sat back on the bar and they tried to wedge it with a railroad spike. When that failed they unbolted the saw and left, then wind pushed the tree and it barber chaired. I hope no one was near when if fell.

That makes since. I was here wondering how in the world did that barber chair with so much cut out of the face.

What the heck is that hanging from the string tied to the spike??
Looks like pitch running down and a fungus or should I say fungi?
This is why you always throw a wedge in the backcut.

this location is where this is,
i took this last spring and said tree was intact, so probably was done this last fall. it's been snowed in all winter and no one had been there till now. some one skrewing around and stuck it. did not have a wedge with them so they scrounged around the site and found the RR spike left over from the tracks that ran in to the yarder site. the chain is good and so is the bar 36" . but it was a nice day to go for a cruise . lots of cridders and no people. and the object hanging from the spike is a small rope with a stuffed tiger on the other end? wtf.

A tiger? I would lie to know the whole story here. Weird.

Check for a chain saw with no bar on Craigslist. I doubt he'll be back in the woods to cut more. Maybe the stuffed tiger was so he wouldn't lose his wedge. One of these day, I'll probably hit a chain saw bar with my sawmill. Seems I've hit about everything else!

Simultaneously makes sense and doesn't.
Maybe that was to mark the tree so it could be seen amongst others when they came back for the bar?

That must be it.
Is the stump a long way from the road? I mean, if it is, I'd ask why someone would carry a stuffed tiger into the woods.
Maybe he got the tiger from Exxon. Or maybe he was twacked out on meth and thought the tiger was real and figured he would guard the tree.. You just never know in the great PNW.......
Check out the fine work I found today:
Can't help but be reminded of that old Garfield cartoon where the titular hero-cat says of his canine foil, "Poor Odie; he's too stupid to know he's in big trouble". These jack-knobs are gonna get themselves killed!

wtf... how did they cut that one off in the air like that??? unless it is balanced like that then I'm guessing they had equipment or at least an ambulance standing by...
