Tree Felling Technique Thread

Just for giggles instead of nipping the heart try nipping the corners like a coos bay back cut that’s where that chair showed it’s face from.

I’ll have to give that a try sometime. I’ve never used a Coos Bay cut before.

I am willing to try any new cutting technique once, but I am a little skeptical of the Coos Bay cut on a heavy leaning hardwood, like Red Oak, just because I feel that as it starts going over when making the back cut, it’s going to fiber pull from the heart wood. I guess we’ll find out later! I’m intrigued by this new to me cut..

Welcome to Red Alder they always lean and normally lean hard up the steep ground we have out here. Just for fun Red Alder if you look at wrong will chair on you it’s a fun species to cut.

It will pull.
Works great on tree jobs though, they will really hold on and it's amazing how slow they come down compared to using a bore/trigger.
