    The Six Point Limbing Method

    Jerry, I bet you could get it done for a reasonable price today. The whole printing busines has changed with the advent of computers. Things are way cheaper now.

    The Six Point Limbing Method

    Man, I want that poster so bad! It beats the heck out of all those eastern European chippies they have been using in their calenders ever since.

    The Six Point Limbing Method

    I cannot find a close up of the Omorika branches. They'll start out at a 45-60 degree downwards angle, then start going upwards again. Very flexible branches. When the tree is full of fresh cones the top 10 feet can weigh several hundred pds. There are a lot of them in gardens here and I hate...

    The Six Point Limbing Method

    True, Burnham. But statistically it is not a very large part of the worlds loggers that work the PNW. Which is what makes it such fun for you guys to hit the rest of us over the head with the size of your trees every time you get the chance;) Eventually all the old growth that can be logged will...
