Makes sense from a mass/weight perspective. I wonder if Dent had ever seen or heard of a Sizwhell (or whatever it's called) cut. I'm STILL trying to track down the origin of this cut.

Since we're talking about Douglas Dent on another thread, here's a bump from Burnham's thread that contains some great knowledge.

Same here Murph. I big thanks goes out to the people who have helped mentor me!

Yup, we've all been there Jer, and thankfully we are still here to pass on the learning experience to the next generation and hopefully, they listen and learn from others.

Thanks B, I will heck it out!

Honestly, I think between Jer's Fundamentals book and the Working Climber DVD series, you can learn 99.9% of what you need to know in the tree care industry...those in the know, know what I am talking about.

Here's the video. Good stuff!

I've been meaning to check that video out too. Hopefully Jed will chine in on it.

I heard over the years that Dent gave up on using Dutchmans to try and steer a tree into the fell. Too many variables. Anyone know about this?

Great book, I have one from years ago.

Burnham, is it true that later on in Dent's career he stopped teaching the "Dutchman" cut because he felt that it was unreliable at best? I forget where I heard that from.
