Not to hijack the original thread (would be happy to start an new thread), but could someone explain the best method to cut the tree in the video above by derwoodi - the one where the tree 'barber chairs'. Would you notch the face and then plunge cut the leaning tree right near where you want the hinge to be - then work the cut towards the back of the tree?
Thank you.
Do a search on back cut release, Bore cut or barba chair theres a fair bit of chat n thought about it on AS
Recognising the trees potential is the real trick.
