Admittedly, I did it. I felt it was an appropriate since we were on the topic of misjudging trees. Plus ya gotta share your screw ups and not just the picture perfect stumps or lays.
Today was the first day cutting with the 7hp cinder block of a saw... boy she does not stop cutting when you let off, talk about power. The pine was 32" dbh with forward lean in the belly and heavy back and to the right lean in the top.
Anyway, I went around to the left side of the stump to finish my back cut and hung in it WAY too long. I nipped the HW in the center as well as taking too much off the corner. It looked like I bored in and left 4" of HW on either side. It went right a little and rode the oak tree's fork all the way to the crotch. :msp_wink:
i can relate, last fall, missed my shot, hung a 30" butt x 100' into another one about the same size, ended up dropping it too but cutting on the opposite side. :sigarette:
