My Bullbucker cutting an 8ft spruce snag on my quarter.
He asked me on the radio the day before nearing the end of the day if I was going to get it done. I said I would do it in the morning when I was fresh and he said that's what he would do.
He was cutting next to me and he was comming over to go over the bucking card the next morning. I was dropping my rakers and he started cutting with my spare.
As soon as I finish he just reached out for me to pass him the better saw..lol. I new that was comming. Just made my day that much easier.
Snapped a few pics and a little vid he can show his grandson.
In the big snags more so the Cedar its usually the one your Falling because the tree comes down in slabs. You can't cut the middle out often because of all the splits so huge slabs peel out of every direction. Pieces start to drop or hang off higher up. The back starts separating from the heart and moving out of the cut. Sometimes pound wedges in to try hold the weight from toppling over the midle that isn't all cut because you can't.
When the back start then get out of there. you have to keep making undercuts taking the slabs one at a time. Always conventional on these unstable ones because you don't want a slab to slide down and fall back at you. They are lots of fun
