    Man that was Awesome! How long have you been falling trees? There is something about watching people who know how to do their jobs well whatever that job might be.

    Wow! Very Impressive. I had to watch that like 5 times before I could even begin to wrap my mind around it.

    Would really like to see it from a couple angles, to know whether the soft side is incrementally stepped, or vertically lined up. A crown shot as it lays into the weight and starts to turn would be very cool also. I guess what I'm sayin is, fly me out, and I'll be glad to run the camera for a week for free.

    I kept thinkin while you were working the backcut that it was goin straight for the lean, or gonna pinch and hang up, but it turned the corner and kept on comin sweet as can be.

    Mad skills!

    Looks like most of the hinge is all the way on the right of the stump and the 3 kerfs in the face were from the center to the left!!! When the backcut was made he cut most of the hinge on the left (camera view) that started the twist,the kerfs on the face compress under weight and swing it more..IMO Pretty sweet!!

    Hey Forestryworks, thanks for a great thread! You must be in the East Texas Piney woods area? Lived in Abilene a while and sure didn't see many trees out there!

    For some reason, I think I detect an Oregon Accent. Must do research.
    Able to operate and heat my home with a WEPA and EPA certified woodstove and probably could do so with one hand tied behind my back.

    Im trying to figure out why this works. the multiple slices adjust direction of fall without snapping the hinge, they bump the wood but since thinly sliced allow it to give, this allows hinge to remain in tact before realease. Is that what is going on there?
