 Re: Box or Square Scarf - Notch
Box scarf. I've done it. Have some photos of the stump but will have to scan em.
Works the same hinge wise.
Main benefit being that you can fell a tree wider than more than double the bar you have.
You plunge the vertical cut first, with the side benefit of feeling out decy in the stem.
Then the face cuts can be done normal from both end and then you can use the tip and run across the face of the tree to complete it. Also after plunging & cutting from both ends the middle can be knocked out with an axe. |
