No worry, was just thinking about Philbert asking if it was free hand.he** with the cut! what I should have said was: nice board! lol... sorry, ok then...
nice board!
only guy I know who can... well, could... cut like that freehand, and he din't need a power saw was d-ick proenneke up at Twin Lakes, AK... now he could make a board!

Yes sir! Alone in the wilderness, Mr Proenneke was an amazing man for sure! Great movie, he lived a great life.
Yup me too! We have watched them many times, yes the books even better. Flew into port allsworth-lake Clark (not too far from twin lakes) one time when we lived up there sure is nice country.I have all 3 of them. I don't usually like to watch a dvd over. don't do reruns! lol... but I bet I have watched them all hundreds of times... never get bored, always seems like first time... each time. what a story! way out there in the Great Beyond. good books, too... really liked seeing the cub his brother fly up from CA and them on float plane trips together. hated to hear it went down later...

Hey Zog!
How high up is that break?
Philbert
If it is reachable by a pole saw (not from a ladder) . . . . could you cut it off a few inches past the crotch of the holding tree, then pull it off with the tractor?
Philbert
No, way too high for a pole saw. If you could get above it in a climbing rig you could tie on and reach down and cut the branch that holds it, leaving the broken branch to slide down the far side of the tree, but..I don't own that gear.
20 years ago, being who I am with limited branez and lotsa built in adventuresome spirit, I woulda just shimmied up the branch and cut it down..today..WUSS!
Just this last week felling good enough to do much work anyway..been sick since before the beginning of summer.
Luckily I have AS and have learned a lot more ways to do things safely and correctly, ha!

postscript: would you scrounge this pile of oak if it was 15' from your 'front door'? lol
Heck, I'd still scrounge it if it was 15' from someone else's front door! Haha
