Hey, Just wondering what your preferred notch for a suspected barber chair tree?
Smack wedges between chain and trunk tighten.I don’t have as much experience as most on this forum so take with grain of salt ... on EAB ash trees (or any tree with head lean) we like to “choke” the trunk above the felling cut with chain or robust ratch straps ... if it starts to chair it will be prevented from splitting “up the center”
Here’s one that went down ok ... gotta understand these ash can be rotten as hell inside ! If you go to deep in the face your f’d NO HOLDING WOOD.... these ain’t live trees with solid wood thru and thru ...
