    New bar , new skip ? That saw could tell some stories I would guess . You do a great job not pulling fiber on the stump . Thanks for another great video .

  • @dr.torque-o-maticwithoverh6597

    Oak trees are something else when it comes to harvesting, trimming, or removal. Nice work in bringing it down.

    6 ft 2 now that’s a humdinger of a tree ,, The base was so thick it was just setting there on it’s own weight cut through but you finally wedged it to the tipping point.. great video 👍🦅🇺🇸

      If he would've cut the notch out a little bit more deeper into the tree it would've fell alot more easer than that there cause it would've thrown the tree the way he wanted it to go for him and the wind would've pushed it for him too

    I'm actually impressed that you didn't screw up. With practically cutting off all your holding wood. As the great John Wayne said, " Better to be lucky than good"

      pretty heavily weighted towards the lay. only 2 limbs off the top face the camera. probably could've used a bit more but went as planned.

    • @justinmusselman1257
      @justinmusselman1257 Před 4 lety +1

      I'm pretty sure that he used a bore cut, it's what you use when you aren't sure how solid the center of the tree is, i think, i'm not claiming to be an expert. Just adding my 2 cents.

    • @larryreno8293
      @larryreno8293 Před 4 lety

    • @junebug1988
      @junebug1988 Před 3 lety +1

      He's a logger!!!!! Cutting the heart out is what you do! You want to avoid as much fiber wood as possible. The buyers will nock the price if you dont. Watch and learn this man can teach you alot.

    To me it always seems trees like that stand neutral. I fell a cherry of the same shape (half the size of this one) but the prevailing wind was outta the north so decided to fall the tree to the south which made things very easy. Awesome video. Topping that thing was probably quite a job?

    @OL' Skool Loggin I like how you take the extra lip off the face cut to make it easy to skid.
    I also think it is funny when people do not know why you make the shallow face cut. ( Waste not want not )
    You are logging to make $ right? ( Yep... thought so ) :)
    That is beautiful timber.
