Big ash tree I have been working on in my spare time. Finally got a chance this evening to get in the tree after planning this cut for awhile. It is a large overhung limb that can be bombed straight down. To get to it I had to set a long lanyard from the side to pull me away from it to cut it. Took awhile to set both main line and the secondary TIP.
Plan was to do a 3 cut like described in a couple of my books.... First cut from underneath, then second directly above and then remove the stub last.
Well.... I went to far with the first undercut.... Saw pinched.
Arrggghhh. Getting dark so sent the wife for my other chain saw. No way she can crank it and warm it up. She sent it up to me and I could not crank it in the tree. Down I go and on the ground it cranked first pull.... Dark now and I am frustrated....
So the saw gets to camp out over night!
Experience is a hard teacher.
