Thanks! My personal felling count is only in the 100s. Our foreman is in the tens of thousands; still nothing compared to your quarter million count! It's not as though bore cutting is unknown to him, but as mentioned, he only tends to use it when the saw just isn't big enough (a monster silver...

So I bore cut my first tree the other day. Actually, I practiced first on an 18" Red Bud, but that was with a 20" 346, so it certainly qualified as a practice shot. Then I went for it on a 3'x4' "Mongolian" elm trunk & spar, bore cut with our 24" bar 372. It went down pretty text book, with...

And you tell the new guy that it's right next to the board stretcher in the truck. If it's not there, it's under the Turbo Encabulator. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ac7G7xOG2Ag?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Is that the Danish equivalent to Monty Python in the video? Czech has for me been the most interesting language to take in; a few of my Euro friends are Czech and it's pretty wild to a middle-American ear! But Euskera might be the most unusual thing I've ever encountered.

Actually, your voice is just about what I had thought. But I do have quite a few German friends, a Dutch woman friend, and even a Dane acquaintance (he described Denmark as boring, seemed happy to be traveling overseas). But yes, your English accent is more US-leaning than the German Eur-inglish...

There is a reason I chose to start this thread in the Felling and Rigging forum, instead of the Logging forum. I was specifically interested in the bore cutting technique for tree felling, which I have seen us use only rarely on our crew. Logging is a unique skill set, as is climbing. But given...

You may also have extremely un-level ground to contend with in many scenarios, whereas our terrain is generally flatter. I didn't mean to insinuate that there are no obstructions in the woods, however to my mind the consequences of misplacing a tree in the woods are generally less than in a...

I think you've hit upon something key here. While Mark Chisholm may be 2nd to none up in the tree, that is where his specialty lies. Same with our crew -- often times the climber is rolling up his rope and putting away gear while another crew member takes the honors of actually felling the tree...

This video by Stihl is a lot more succinct than the Husqvarna training video, also featuring a bore cut: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bIBeL-3RB1U?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Aha. Stig, thanks for the reply back and for shedding the needed light on the subject and laying it at rest for me. I see that we are involved in 2 completely different scenarios. Logging in fields and forests is completely different than our typical residential constraints (usually hardwood...

stig, I'm calling you out. Well, not for a duel, but to explain your tagline, "Patron saint of bore-cutters". Husqvarna's qualified trainer (out of Ohio, apparently) implies that bore cutting is S.O.P. (standard operating procedure). Yet for felling, we rarely do it unless there is a fence...
