Hey can I borrow that webbing strap
this could upper cut sucker punch ya on the chin with any unwary back cut and its just tip fouled in the tree opposite just to make it a wee more interesting
Rope, the only time it tried to pinch the saw was when I made the notch. Bore went smooth enough, even though it released before I planned. A learning experience for sure, and next time I think I'll just try the regular old back cut. I guess it would have worked better. Although, with as much stress as this tree had, some fiber pull seems inevitable to a layman like me. I guess it would have just left a thick hinge as it fell early... A fast saw is a winner here, not to re-mention the strap. The firewood quantity is good. After the defect, there is 50' or so of good solid PA oak, and It is still two ft. or so dia. at that point. LOTS of weight up there! (not anymore)
derwoodi, If you make the trip to PA, the strap is yours! I think if I was to attempt your leaner, I would strap it, make a VERY small notch, and let it rip with a regular back cut. But that's just me, I'm definitely not the pro!
Roots, no vid capability, sorry. definitely agree with the good dialogue part. I am a safer firewood cutter because of this site and the guys who are willing to give free advice on the internet. Thanks all.
