Hello Madhatte, I think it's a species specific thing, like spruce or other swelled butt wood. If the butt is swelled all around, it might be a good call to flare it before felling. The only positive result seems to be that the butt log looks clean and we're only gonna get paid for the tip dia. So I think the mill or the log buyer digs the funky cuts more than the faller does. Lol Plus, those cut off flared butts ocupy alot less room on the loggin' truck.

I think you are on the right track!

Also, his bar looked like it was a bit short, so he had to cut from both sides.

Lol, we may as well tear this guy apart while he's onstage. lol
I noticed too, that when he was swamping out the excape root he was dangerously handling the saw and branch. He should have had the saw in his left hand and the branch in his right.

I am, it's f'n hard to get them to line up like that.

Not if you have enough bar to get all the way through the stem... now getting the exit wound in the right place is a different story altogether... LOL
