Today we felled 3 large cherry trees in my backyard that were in various stages of decay.
(See picks in THIS post).
While cutting the stump close to the ground the blade on my Stihl suddenly became dull and stopped cutting. Changed to a new blade and this time I saw sparks and knew I hit something hard. Found a 6†square spike at the very base of the stump that was burried 8†inside. I would guess the tree to be around 150 years old. This square spile looks to be very old as well.
It sure did a number on 2 blades...
