    Felling Larch

    Nothing truer has ever been said. Sometimes I can't stop seeing a mountain of limbs when I close my eyes at night, but I never picture falling trees. :(

    What do you guys consider a "long bar"? I'm thinking above 24", but I may have short arms. :) 24" seems more like a standard length that is a starting point on the larger saws.

    I don't know about double cutting the face, and granted, and there is a loss of time, but swinging around the back of a tree with a sharp aggressive cutting saw and making a good even hinge, is a cool process that requires some decent "sawsmanship" (word I just made up :)).

    I bet if you started out using a short bar, and that pretty much comprised your experience, you wouldn't think anything about it...'cept that maybe everything is big in the states, and people like to spend money.

    Thanks for clarifying the good characteristics of the wood. I've only seen Larch sold as cheap 2x4 stock at discount hardware stores, and it is light and weak. It probably is a lower grade, comes from Siberia or something. A lot of cheap imported wood comes out of Russia.

    Wondering why people plant Larch, the little that I've come across seems like such a weak wood. Quick growing?

    Ha, don't go posting pictures of big trees and go giving us ulcers :lol: Cool pics, and a couple of well used saws there, Huskies noted.
