I guess I cut it more like one foot up...here are some picts. Last one shows the 3 sticks I put where I estimated the top of the spar would be...33 feet from the base where I cut it about one foot above ground. Original estimate of height with Spidey's method was 34 feet.
Probably about 2 feet...I'll check my picture later..I took a stump shot to review.
I will confess that when I used Kenny's trick to come up with 34 feet that I then paced off 11 steps...33 feet for me...and put 3 sticks in a row at that point. When the spar fell it was almost exactly even...
Kenny,
That IS a great technique. I used your method today and came up with a height of 34 feet (had to do 4" = 10', yard was too small). When I dropped the spar it was 33 feet. Thanks for the technique.
KOA, that sounds like a great technique. I have a spar to cut down today, probably about 20-25 feet...I'll try that before I drop it and then measure it once it is down.
Thanks for the method.
