Delimbing a fallen tree

At times over the past few weeks it has been very (for here) windy.  Two trees were snapped off.   Wednesday afternoon I removed the branches from the trees while the wood is still soft and it is easier to remove the branches.

One tree was thin and I got the work done in a half hour.  The second tree was larger and it took longer.  Also slowing me down with the second tree was my axe head kept coming off.  Every few strokes I had to tamp the head back down securely on the handle.

Eventually I got all the branches cut and carried away to a pile to dry.
