I know there are a lot of people on this site with a lot more experience/knowledge than me, so I'd like some feedback from you on a felling question.
There is a tree with a slight lean to it. I want to drop the tree at about 45 degrees from the lean.
I'm thinking to make the notch in the direction that I want it to fall, but with the back cut leaving the hinge a little thicker on the side away from the lean.
Is this a good idea, or not?
If it makes any difference, the tree is a Tulip (Yellow Poplar) about 20" in diameter, and fairly tall.
Thanks.
