Do they make a silencer for your chainsaw and a flashlight attachment?

Michael, just take a piece out of the middle, maybe they won't notice.

Unless the burl goes all the way through, I'd have to call this one. After all, if it goes all the way through and you cut it...yes, the tree will die. If it is hanging off the side and you cut it, the tree will try to scar the cut(if you paint the cut to reduce ants and moisture) and it will probably be just fine!
I've taken a few burls off the side of trees, and they are doing just fine(and the burls too)

Have to agree with you Scott, most of our Aussie trees will handle the burl being sliced off the side of the tree, without too much problem. Sealing the scar would also be a good idea.

Only one way to find out Mike, chop it and see what happens.
There is not a lot can be done after it's on the ground.:biggrin::biggrin:
