i too have a chainsaw
but use it as little as possible
maybe on a big log
to be cut into short pieces
i consider it noisy
and overeager to cut things
do not like inhaling fumes
used to use
my grandpa's double headed axe
to take trees down
you feel it in your hands
when it us ready to fall
before you hear it
my wrists began complaints
so i now use a hand saw
just as precise with control
perhaps better in tight spots
but have to listen for the
cracks when it starts to fall
