That's cross-cutting locust.

Per your request here's a vid and an apology about the BS

Look out... the gloves are coming off!!! LOL

we're cool... I always liked you as a person. You've got a good spirit! Glad to hear you're a family man.

JED I HAVE ASKED YOU REPEATEDLY TO SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. Your self -depreciation may work for you but please leave me out of your "we are twins" scenario. I've been cutting trees as my only profession since you were twelve years old. You've been posting 30-60 second videos on youtube for a couple...

To be honest, its been so long since I cut that maple top on the hooks that I don't remember the exact details of my line and lanyard. I may have been working off a friction saver but likely not. The chance of that tree BBC was about next to nothing would be my guess, or I would have remembered...
