My neighbor wanted some help cutting some trees. One in particular I consider a "hazardous" tree. It's a 21" box elder with about 45 degrees on lean, a split in it and some rot. I put in a shallow face, and used the "T" cut on both sides. I chained the trunk in the event of a barberchair. As I finished the "T" the tree set down slightly before touching the back of it. Once I started on the back cut, 4" into it the tree broke on the hinge and came down without barberchairing.
I am not saying I am by any means an expert, but this tree needed a plan. My neighbor was going to go after it with his Sears Craftsman saw. He had never heard of a barberchair.
BTW, as I was about to make the back cut, a biker drove under the tree which was hanging over the road. Maybe I am not to smart a guy but If was one the road, saw some rube with a chainsaw cutting a tree hanging over the road, I wouldn't drive my bicycle under it.
Obligatory saw pics, all carnage inflicted with 357 and 346.
