Greenwedge-just curious if you know the Mulligans. I believe they are in that country.

Would that be north out of town? I didn't know they had that nice of timber there. Is that a Potlatch mill in town? I spoke to a group of guys back in 1991 at that mill. All contract loggers and cutters.
I recently found this stump cut by someone here on AS:msp_ohmy:

Just out of curiosity (I know you experienced guys prefer not to give advice via the internet) how would you go about setting up a tree such as the one above? Granted, you weren't there to see the entire scenario but it appears to have had a pretty substantial head-lean...
I've seen where people will bore the back-cut first to establish a hinge. But on a tree that is too small to bore without just wiping out the whole back side simultaneously it doesn't seem that it would be an effective method.
I know any advice given should be taken with a grain of salt as there is no single equation to be applied for all head-leaning trees, I just enjoy the physics (so-to-speak) behind some of the strategies used.
Potlatch shut down the mill they had in HQ, but they still have one in Lewiston...about 40 mi away. I beleive the job is West of town....####, now I have to break out the map.....See what you did to me? lol

I think i know the kid that took that pic. . . the tree (+/- 20") rolled out of another when it fell causing it to tear like that.. . .also this was at a training class for forestry students most whom for the most part have very little experience working in the woods and that will probably never be "loggers" but will be "foresters" .. . . good example of knowing the whole story i guess.
