Can you cut the hinge with the bar on an angle, rather that horizontal, fitting the power head into the facecut. The powerhead would be up and bar tip would be down, maybe 10⁰ or so.

No, just different eco arborist stuff. BIG firs. He installs wildlife cams for WA Fish and Wildlife. Got to expense a boat to do nests in a reservoir, recently flooded, or something. I have 5 cavity nests in a snag at home. Almost forgot Dept Of Natural resources pays companies/climbers...

The water front neighbor, two doors down, also wants a tall stump or three. And her uncle next door, at least wants a tree down. Dropped her some chips, she stopped by with a big jar of home made salsa.

My friend uses the material from topping conifers to build raptor nests on what becomes the new the top. Eco-arbo stuff pays. I didn't do it that way for free.

I'm having trouble with the uploader and editing. They wanted as many high stumps as possible, so I was cutting over my head with the facecut, then "snagged" the stump to mimic a natural fracture. A little gravy over a simple flat top or leaving a facecut. The thick hinge was ok for fiber pull...

I don't use the "plate cut" for the same reason I ride a bike without training wheels. If you learn to ride, it's just a PITA to have training wheels. I could make extra work all day, but why? I had a little trouble linng this up, dead on, first cut. I was off by a kerf-width on this...

It's not about being a West Coast Faller, it's about being a good cutter. I use to teach rookie college kids for Americorps. They learned how to cut a hinge properly. I've never, in my limited experience seen good fellers use the horizontal cut second method. I'm sure it works okay, but I'm a...

�� P.S. more pics in general!

I mean, IF one needed, in a similar situation, one could cut a small snipe in the middle of the lower face, with lower angle to the grain. I don't really work with people with greater skill sets here much (@ state parks, my supervisor taught me about big trees), so I have to pick up from what...

I'm on my phone so it's hard to see. Second look, looked like a center post, third looked like a gutted center post. Looked close to Max because of the small facecut angle (who wants to work against steep angle to the grain on a monster cut). A snipe cut only in the middle will allow extra...

Could you gut the center-post through the facecut? Did you? Hard to see how you reached some of that. Was it with that bar?

Good shootin'!

whadyasay? That's what I was saying, too, I think. Maybe didn't post it, or it was lost in a caffeinated or late-night post. Daniel, if applicable, and you're just junking the logs, some partial depth kerfs on the trunk(s), cut on the way down, will give the trunks likely places to fracture...

Sometimes, its desirable with a wide-double cut to simply keep both corners (Not necessary to have them as rectangular blocks, and gut a lot of the hinge. This results in the inside of the 2 corners' blocks of wood being flat on the backcut, flat on the front, intact on the outside corners...

Scallop is a good term.

Dang, lost some editing. I'm tired, full, rainy day. plywood highway, not the time to re-re-edit. "chase" your cut over to the far side somewhat, then go around, and reach over so that you can continue on the same kerf, if they line up. Once you go around the far side you can 'eye' the line to...
