What Jay said. Just look at the growth rings on leaners. The tension side rings are wider.

I have nothing to offer. Its a picture of a big hinge. Cool.

They don't grow in the woods here but do line the wooded river banks.

I have silver maples in my area that would make most mens eyes cross......

Yes. THIS. Half the folks in this conversation could stand to work as a logger.

He is a logger, heartwood and thin hinges decide whether he has food on his table or not.

I don't understand that video. Why not dissect that log without the snapping and tearing of wood. Put a notch in the pressure and cut through the tension. Clean, controlled, and wont throw chains.

I use a ladder to get started into fat trees.

Ya, old junky skidder, but it was there in a pinch.

Skidder and cable? Don't mind if I do.

I don't trip boe cut trees from the inside out. I cut out all that needs cut, pull my saw out, and reach out and nip the holding strap with the least bit of the bar tip.

Dreadful.

Bore cuts have their place, more so in the woods falling hardwoods. Less fiber pull, in some instances safer, and not barber chairing leaning trees that a sawmill has already bought and paid for.

Murph you are talking out your ass about loggers not knowing about low cuts. Loggers lose their jobs daily for leaving high stumps. Don't know if you know, but a foot of the butt is worth 10 feet of the top. With that said, a good logger makes low stumps.

Looked to me to be a step cut, that's why I was confused. I know all too well about bore cutting Jay. Ive had my share of it when I was a logger.

Why a step cut on a leaning tree? Just bore cut the thing. I don't see what was gained by adding another dynamic to an already committed tree.

I have no time for violently jerking trees to get them to go over. Smooth and steady on my jobs.
