To which you should reply, "When?" Then when he says, Who?", you say, 'Where?". A good meaningful conversation!

Really, don't attribute more intelligence to us than we really have. :)

That poster is still a topic of conversation at tree faller's tea breaks thousands of miles away. "Sono takai tokoro mada ni meter ijo chokai desuyo! Segoy....shingeranai!" (and other sorted exclamations of disbelief and approval)

How he got those big slices out, I could only figure that Jerry has a way to sedate the tree.

Nice going sierratree.

Thanks, Jerry, for the clarification. Instead of better folding, eliminating hinge wood instead. That makes sense.

It seems like you might get a similar effect with a standard face, but instead of the cut from the upper angle cut stopping at the apex, it carries down further on one side. This is how i interpreted Sig's method. Somewhat cross grain doing that, but in the direction of the wood bending.

Maybe thick, but patient. :) Sierra...'Understanding Wood', by Dr. R. Bruce Hoadley, is a fine text. That and Jerry's book on your shelf covers mucho territory, from Alaska to the Yucatan.

By allowing more wood fibers to fold before breaking. It does help to understand that trees are made out of wood, and wood has certain properties with variation based upon species, degree of water content, grain direction, etc. I don't mean disrespect by this, only that understanding wood...

More holding wood or any method that keeps a part of the tree attached to the stump longer, will want to swing the tree to that side's direction, say one side as opposed to the other. If you are working falling trees, gaining a basic understanding of how hinge dynamics work, will greatly...

The way that saw in the vid sounds at high rpm is like it is getting a higher revs count than just a muffler ported. Idles a bit in the attack mode too, to my ears. Lightened piston?

He really could of got nipped by that branch when bucking and the log raised. Working pretty fast there. I get too frequent close calls myself, usually cutting limbs under bind where more attention is required.

"Wipe their azz with Spotted Owls or something here soon" Frustration in the man's comment, but funny. :lol: That saw isn't stock.

Thanks Jerry for the helpful reply. It is pretty easy to imagine what occurs with a pinch when the cuts come together, no option besides the hinge breaking quickly, then as you say, ways to affect how the butt leaves. It is the variations from the pinch , along with the combination of other...

Does it stand to reason that the larger the gap, the longer the holding time and guide to the lay before the hinge breaks?

Get 'The Fundamentals' book, you will be glad you did. Drawings can be better than pics. I believe one quote in there can be enough to make the whole purchase valuable.
