Wow Willard!!! You guys look like my mom's relatives from North Dakota! But I've got to say--it looks really fun.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!:lol::O

Yeah, yeah, Darrin: Guess I kinda' walked into that one.

That's wierd: All I want is Willie's 090!!!

Thanks forestryworks: Funny how the simplest advice that you would think no one would ever forget can get overlooked in the heat of the moment. Only about a week ago, I got to fall a large Lombardy poplar that I had to cut from both sides. My idea for the back cut was to bore partway through...

No you don't Stig: that makes perfect sense. You'll forgive me if I sound a little starstruck in getting to talk (so to speak) with actual timber-cutters, like you and Jerry. Here in the states, we arborists (also forgive me you arborists who are getting to do exactly what you want to do)...

Thanks to Burnham and Jer for reading my mind. Sorry Butch and Stig!!! And Butch: feel more than free to sanitize the title. I wasn't trying to be esoteric with the terminology, I promise--it's just that Jerry's book has made up such a permanent part of the backdrop of my consciousness...

A) By "gut feel" from the corner and then sweeping all the way to the far corner. B) By gut feel from the "side" (This is Beranek's terminology meaning a few inches from your near corner, then cutting up to it.) C) By gut feel from the front. (dead center of the undercut, aligning "tilt"...
