With some help to steady the ladder, the large fallen redbud limb overarching the sidewalk to the front porch and being held up by a moribund Japanese yew and some immature Rose of Sharon shrubs is finally separated from the tree and on the ground ready for additional dismemberment. I am very good at using handsaws of various kinds, but regret that I wasn't ever given enough instruction to be able to make my own sawbuck and sawhorses, as any novice carpenter should be able to do. I know how to hammer and saw, and do it right, and a little bit more, but that's it. Too bad.
