The Bore wing|borewing| bore-wing cut for palms

Ekka · 1st January 2008, 11:54 PM

Approx 4 mins and 20mb in wmv

I haven't really gone into detail about this cut but I can tell you that 90% of climbers who come here and take on the dreaded in this town get stuck!

And this is the way out.

I've seen guys with 44's and 46's stuck and had to cut them out with another saw.

In this example we were only using a 020 but you'll get the picture.

thats unique...the wing cuts. over here we use something similar to prevent barber chairing of species like ash and elm{trees that are stringy in structure if peeled.
the object is to place your notch/scarf in

.....plunge{bore}cut behind your notch{whatever amount of hing wood you want, ...thats how far back you start your plunge cut. try to make it as flat and even as possible.} be sure you plunge cut extends to back of tree and is stopped several inches from going out other side.

you can now either continue to cut directly threw or you can pull out saw...assess situation... then when ready cut off those few inches of holding wood that you left.

this allows you to allows felling without barberchaing or saw pinching

We use the same procedure for falling forward leaners.

No, you guys are missing the boat. This is a method of blocking down palms where the tension clamps your bar and you get stuck in the tree.

By boring thru and leaving the sides the section cannot compress your bar. Then by cutting in the wing (no more than a bar width) again the section wont clamp the bar and you can break it off.

Otherwise you can end up having to perform this operation.

Gotcha. I'll give it a go. I usually cut a series of notches on a grabby palm, mostly Phoenix.

its for the same reasons. the first notch wont pinch unless you cut deep{no need for it} the plunge cut removes the center of the trunk leaving the hinge wood and the remainig outside . there is no way to pich your bar.

your way though allows a person to pick off chunks without tipping them over. kinda like a high tech snap cut. thats a nice saw todem pole. ps those stihls make good wheel chocks.
