Theres a large dead branch dangling from the Larch at the end of my
garden. Still attached but it looks untidy and Ive a mind to lop it off.

The branch is long dead and well dried. 5 minutes work with a chainsaw but
as its about 20ft up Im not entirely comfortable with waving a chainsaw
around at altitude. ;-)

Obviously going to take longer with a bow saw but I dont mind investing in
a new sharp blade of the right type (namely, not one for green wood) if
itll make the job easier.

What should I be looking for?

Something like this:

Just don't stand beneath it while you're cutting it. ;-)


Too big for one of those. Probably 8-9 diameter, wider than it is deep.
