Black oak

[michmike]

I have a small woodlot full of tall black oaks. Many have lost their tops and the trunks on most have that distinct bend in a big arch. So the typical hinge cut method would appear to be the wrong way to fell them. Being a non pro with limited experience what would be the proper and safest way to bring them down?
