Default Re: Tricky pine felling

Bigshea13 is right having all your cuts level is very important, and trying very hard to have your back cut above the base of your scarf is also very important....I just didn't want to hammer on you too much, the pulled fibres do indicate the hinge failed at least to some degree during the fell, perhaps because of the tree stalling I'm not sure.

Can't seem to download any pdf's? Not sure what thats about I'll see if I can rob some of the diagrams to demonstrate for readers what we're on about.
