I might be getting a job next week cutting up trees someone else felled, hopefully there will be some totally retarded stumps to laugh at.

If you give a hippie tweaker a chainsaw.......

Is he sawing long?

This is an ash of mine from yesterday, your son's stump is better. I came up a little high on my back cut.

When I see holding wood intact, I consider it a win. People who cut thru their hinge wind up hurt....or dead.

He's cut a few hundred trees over the last two years, mostly cedar around 12" but more recently I've started him on bigger stuff.
In my experience, it's mostly about slowing down and being precise..... I've made quite a few bad stumps in my time..... a very high percentage of them have been a direct result my impatience.

Common practice here to cut the back cut a inch or two higher. Keeps the butt from pushing back if the crown hits another tree on the fall

Thats true. however the higher your back cut the more you have to cut through your hinge for the tree to start moving, and then the hinge just breaks off entirely.

There’s a fine line and then it goes to crap fast I find a inch or so is good, anything beyond 1.5 “ pushing it

Depends on the size of tree I suppose. I often come up a bit on sketchy ones, just for peace of mind more than anything else. Otherwise I try and stay even or very slightly above.

They only time I raise the back cut is when I’m smashing trees down or sneaking it down next to neighbouring trees where it might catch up a bit, otherwise I go for flush

@TheDarkLordChinChin i gotta ask lol is your username referencing filthy frank?

Here’s what 80% of the stumps in my area look like. Sloping back cuts and no hinge wood is the norm, pretty scary stuff

I went to look at that job today and there are some priceless stumps, I will have photos on Thursday.

Witchcraft!
By a demonically possessed woodsman.

...that's an other-worldly deed.

there’s another bush I work in where a lot of stuff it’s just a 45 degree cut until it keels over. Even like 24” maples
