looks like a bunch of pungie sticks. thats not ugly it scary.
Yup. I wish we'd taken some pictures before everything got yarded out and cut up for firewood. Talk about a jack-strawed mess! The trees went over in every direction.
This was a volunteer project on an old gold mine restoration for the local Land Trust group. They depend heavily on volunteers for the grunt work. They'd asked me to do some falling and to clean up the mess . After I looked at the stumps and the birds nest lead I made a deal with them...I'd do all the falling or none of the falling.
The guy who fell these meant well but he's better off running a lawnmower or something. Safer, too. I found at least four trees that had 'chaired, quite a few that went over sideways and enough that came straight back over the back cut to make my hair turn gray.
So much for all those people who believe in the slant cut, eh?
I'll bet that the next time SlowP comes down to visit she leaves her saw home. LOLOLOL
