Getting more experience felling today. Face was not great, was at two angles, but the tree went exactly where I wanted it to between this Doug Fir and Spruce. Aimed for the spruce, as I knew the top had a sweep towards the Fir that would make it miss the Spruce.
Didn’t remember to look up, but didn’t get one.
I did use a wedge as a safety measure for the first time on this tree. One of the bigger ones I’ve dropped. I’d say probably 32”x34” or so. The tree also went forward about 4.5’ when it finally landed.
