Either that or... a Viking Axe Fest.

It was actually cut like that, to speed up decomposition and colonisation by fungi and bugs.

Very good...

Between that and herself in the Loch, folk around here don't stand much of a chance.

Apart from the "why"s and "what"s, this is a fascinating scene.

This is a "why".
You saw it as an interesting sight apart from that, I'd guess.

Very interesting notching. First I've seen, but as KD says it is to increase decomposition, etc...and I suppose that notching is a good way to increase the surface area for nature to take it's course.

Kinda worried about the size of this brute... certainly looks big enough to have modified that tree trunk in one bite.
