Shouldn't be an issue. In fact, if the tree has been dead a while and has started to rot, taking some off might get you down to more stable wood. I had a similar situation with a piece of standing dead cherry a while back.
Although, looking closer at the pic, kind of looks dark in the center which might be rot as well. Hard to tell from here in Maine.
