There is a clump of several cherry trees in my woods. I'd like to cut one down and use it for making bowls. (there is a picture at

). The horizontal branch in the pictures must have partially broken in a windstorm about two years ago. I was going to cut down one of the trees then saw the branch up in the air about 25 feet. The branch is about 4" thick where it meets the trunk and looks about 1/2 broken. The top of the branch is caught in another of the trees. The other two trees are harder to work on safely since the clump is on a hill.
Some of the people in this group have talked about coming from logging families so I thought I'd see if anyone could give any guidance here. Getting beaned by the branch if it detached from the tree sounds like bad news.
Thanks.
