Why the wide cuts? They look to be 2". And why cut this way to drop it down the hill? Wouldn't a simple face cut/back cut have worked? Was this safer?

The tree was leaning slightly left, if you decifer the information in the pictures of the felling sequence the "tongue"comes out of the "groove"after the trees comitted to falling forwards no big deal it was the easiest spot to chip the debris.


A very basic/common felling tecnique in my local area,you have to do it to pass a level 2 felling ticket which covers your employers ass if you puk up.

once you know it and how to use it eliminates alot of hard work.

Regarding the cut sequence

A_lopa:

Could you come up with a cut by cut photo or drawing sequence sometime on the below: (When you can, thanks and the name of the cut also.)

 

[SmokinDodge]

That is a really neat cut. If I'm reading it right you do the stardard face cut and on the backcut you leave holding wood about the width of the wedge. Bore below the back cut for the wedge and use the wedge to break the holding wood taking it the desired direction. Just my take on it.
