Sketchy one Max.

It died last week!

I think this pine tree died at least 4 years ago.

You’re a beast Max!
Getting some tag team action today

I think this pine tree died at least 4 years ago.

The “it died last week” comment is a running joke here. You show up at a job and the customer says “it’s been dead a week” when in reality it died a decade ago. Fine work nonetheless!

 

[Maximalist]

Before I go to a client, I always ask him to send me pictures of trees. This greatly simplifies the understanding of the situation.

A big stump. 20" bar, just missed that bitty bit in the centre.

 

[Mellow]

I've done a couple where a little bitty bit like that nearly ruined the day.

 

[Jomo]

A bit of triangulation n wasted wood n time?

Not a problem!

Fiona, good felling! Some legend in his own mind could take some lessons!

Looks like a strong spiral grain, a thing to be observant of, when using a tall hinge.

 

[SkwerI]

Even gutting the hinge, you barely missed that little bit in the middle. Reading the stump it looks like great technique, just a hair short on the bar length.

 

[Burnham]

Well done, Fi.

 

[Bermy]

I probably should have made the back cut closer in height to the gut...less fibre to shear.

My old master alway made them at exact same level.

No reason to waste gasoline cutting the same wood twice, was his reasoning.

If you had felled as many trees as him, I guess it even might matter a bit.

Nice work, everything fine and level.

Did your chipper sell?

@cory

not yet

I would have thought that in this climate of limited, pricey supply of new equipment with lots of emissions stuff on it, a machine like yours would go quickly.

 

[BIGTWIG]

Same here.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

4 hours from the ground up to get this canyon live oak to this point. Not a huge tree by any measure, but challenging none the less.
Where ever there is now open between limbs and leaders was filled with dead up to 6 plus dead. Just never pruned save limbs by the drive way. Shading itself out. Interesting canopy though. Lousy drag. Tree is growing out of a hole with culverts and rocks.

 

[flushcut]

One stump. And then mowed acres of grass.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Green acres.

[Burnham]

Handsome.
