Tastefully I hope, italics and everything.
I've only cut one tree down with an axe, an elder to put up a fence. Bastard thing still keeps shooting though despite the copious amounts of stump killer, salt and explosives. Think I'll have to get my boss over with his tractor.

The council made me remove my conifer because the roots were poking through the path. I used a small hand axe 'cos it was all I could afford.
The stump's still there so no man points for me. :\

No I have never used my chopper to cut down a tree--it's too blunt for that kind of thing. :pc
