    Once you have your stump, have it cut so that it stands LEVEL This
    can be harder to accomplish than what you might think. people with
    chainsaws somehow don't understand that the cuts may be perpendicular
    to the trunk but that doesn't mean that when it is stood up on end,
    that the stump is perpendicular to floor. It's also nice to have the
    bark chainsawed off and then roughly sand it with a home type sander.
    If you are not sure that it is dry, support it a bit off the floor
    with some lumber scraps so that air can circulate under it. It should
    be short enough that when you hammer on your anvil or stake, you do
    not have to lift you shoulder.
