Nothing like standing on a board for the far side of that double and having to cut stairs into the main stem.

All I can say about you felling technique is you are persistent.

My first attempt at a Humboldt on a tulip poplar. 24" DBH. To my eye I overshot and got a little more than a 1/3 on the facecut and i should have stayed on the stump a bit longer to prevent some of that fiber pull but Im ok with it for a first try

That post was a joke, ain’t my work. I have big enough bars and an OPE/YouTube/Book/some experience felling education…if I had felled it, it would look a little better.

I don’t care to hang around falling things, heck with the fibers…I think @afleetcommand has a trick where he bores the center of the hinge to relieve some pull/splitting.

Yes, I saw you had posted it before. Just an attempt at a joke.

My bad….I thought you didn’t get the joke but it was me!

Yes. I’m not selling timber. As soon as possible I’m making my exit.

Yes again. You can bore and leave enough on both sides. As a rule I could care less. I did a big walnut several years ago only to find wire in it. Still a pretty log I’d mill with a chainsaw. The slabs would be interesting enough to likely have value to someone. I saved the log

Chicken, sometimes the safest place to be is on the stump still.

I have one of those with a toasted piston. Might have to see if the cylinder will clean up and how much a piston is.

This one left me no choice but to leave a few inches above the ground on the high side - my places to stand/sit and cut were very limited on this sidehill.
