Limbing and Sectioning It is easier to limb a tree by cutting towards its top, if the limbs point upward. Black spruce is the exception, as the branches tend to point downward. Limbing is best done on the far side of the tree, using the tree itself as a barrier between the axe and your legs. If you limb on the same side, chop so that the axe is swung away from you or the cut is made behind you.
