Nice Hard Maple

Been back at it about a month now, minus some mud/rain delays. Here’s a high stumped Red Oak. There was barbed wire in this one, which is why I cut it high, and avoided the blue.

The tree leaned in the direction my saw is pointing. I gave it intentional dutchman, and let it compress, and roll into my face cut. Worked great. Pulled a little fiber, but only about 5” of it - I can live with that. Laid the tree almost 90* to the lean.

I need lessons on how you do that. Wish I lived closer...

It doesn’t always work, but with a little practice, and reading the tree, you can manipulate some to do what you want.

Here’s a vid that explains the dutchman pretty well:

I’ve watched it a few times. It’s well done. I would love to opportunity to go out there for a few days and experience that.

That is slick. Above my pay grade. His saw sounded really good...
