Thanks!

Finally someone who says fall in stead of fell. Why do other tree cutting channels use the for word FELLING, OR FELL, which is the past tense of fall.

He’s a faller, but a good feller, too

Thats a good question...I'm not really sure why so many people use that terminology...but it seems to be a very prevalent thing in the Timber Community.

I always had this crazy idea but never tried it myself. Though about making a hinge and back cut low, wedging the tree to get the side lean out of it but not to fell it over. Then do a higher face cut and back and use that to get it to go in a direction for falling. Honestly it’s probably a bad idea and has reasons why I never see anyone do it. But it does sound slick on paper

You’d be cutting your hinge holding wood down to a square, albeit on separate levels, but that’s asking a lot of a small square of heart wood. Maybe if you stood it up perfect, but I’ve had some scrambles when I messed with the hinge in a way it didn’t like. There’d have to be no wind, too.

Hi Dan, a question from left field: tongue-and-groove felling technique is getting a lot of attention of late: when would one use that (heavy side leaner?), and is it useful. Any unusual danger with it? Thanks in advance.

That is a very good question...In my mind I can imagine that would actually be a pretty good option on a side leaner...( if it did not pop out of the groove during the fall) ..it's something I would like to experiment with. Never really tried it....so I guess the answer is....pending...
