[QUOTE="davefr, post: 5543534, member: 248"] ^^Thanks and yes I have lots to learn. This is tree #1. There's no damn hinge left and a very inconsistent back cut. I should have done a plunge cut and rotated the bar around to the other side leaving 10% hinge on both ends and then been more aggressive with wedges and then alternated between wedging and slight increased hinge cuts. I guess a smaller bar would have done the job just fine if it was done correctly. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59847735/P1050919.JPG[/IMG] #2 tree went much better. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59847735/P1050920.JPG[/IMG] #3. This was an old half rotten cherry tree and concerned me because it could have been unpredicatble.
