How Do letigre,first let's get it straight.I personally am from the West Coast.We are not Yanks or Rebels, We are a bit of them all rolled into one,accepted by most as bieng "from out west".A bit of an odity.As is.But as for your post,what your refering to is called a dutchman.It is used to bring a tree around at a certain point in it's fall.Most times a mistake which comes from either not keeping a close eye on the tip of your bar,or not using a big enough bar.Same diff.. As I said before there are so many ways to affect a trees fall it would be difficult to explain them all,as if Iknew them all! But to reiterate think about the mechanical aspects of any given box in congunction w/any given back cut,try to figure the outcome,then when you get the chance-in the clear-give it a shot.But in my mind,Most important keep an eye on the top to control and observe what happens.BUT be safe at all times. |
