I really don't know. :? I am suspicious that it is partially because that while gymnosperms and angiosperms create reaction wood cellular changes on different sides of the tree, they will both produce more wood on the bottom side and less on the top; creating an offset pith. I think the...

Good point and viable question. Like I said when I get to a job I assess whether I can do this or not. The pros and cons are part of the assessment. For me climbing is easy, bending over and moving large wood is hard. On this particular tree there was a small pump house that needed to be...

That's cool, Darin. :) Dave

Ahhh, if you want this to work, I found you pretty much have to get the heavy head off the tree. The reaction wood that the tree has developed to support this will create a stronger hinge than normal. Without removing the top, you will have as much chance of stopping the log as with any other...
