You need to learn to take the heart out son.......although what you said is 100% true.........you know you're good when you can walk a 3' white oak through the tree tops.........and never get hung up........while feeding 2 or 3 franklin 170's........:greenchainsaw:
White oak, white ash, some reds, some chesnuts, walnut, and hickory god forbid i almost always de-heart. black oak, poplar, maples, naa.
I was just trying to get the point across how easy it is to screw up what can be good hardwood saw logs and even more importantly good vineers!!!
I would have been canned a long time ago if i sawed like that haha.
Also when trying to side hill bad leaners, sometimes you gotta have some heart for some of the hinging or your just gonna pull the stump.
hardwood fallers dont get enough respect.
