Default Re: Tricky pine felling

that one limb can't hit the fence?okay will you try the coos bay?
in case you don't know what i'm talking about the coos bay is a safe way to deal with heavy head leaners that could barbe chair.you make 2 cuts parallel to the lean about 1/3 of the way through.get behind the tree and you will see a strap of wood holding the tree bore or cut through it until the tree takes to its lean.when making the back cut you have to make it as quick as possible to minimize wood pull and if there is any chance that the tree can hit anything I advise using a pull line.
