Trees you've cut

[ferris]

Found this when looking through the years photos, one of my favorites. All of these trees were within easy reach of structures.

What is wrong with bottom right?

From what I remeber there was a bit of internal cracking happening, more than is visible in the picture. These trees were maybe 50 meters from a lakeshore and were subject to significant wind stress.

I cut it down and now I am slabbing it up.

Here’s one we cut a few years ago. That’s a 261 with an 18” bar. Coulda used a lot more saw, but we got it all done. Pretty big ice storm layed this big red oak down. That’s me on the left and I learned a lot by pinching the hell out of my bars in this twisted mess. Inboard clutch was helpful when swapping bars.

A) Maximizing the board feet in the log
B) Hiding a massive fiber pull

Looks like stump jumping to me.

Is there any way to control that? Where the tree goes etc? I’m asking because I don’t know how to do it.

Cut a couple dead standing oak today. All went well. Actually had the old 288 out. She ran well. Hadn’t been started in maybe a year. Still pulls over bad

Those make big piles of brush, hardest part of those trees. Did it have much rot inside, ant damage, splits, that's my life here. All my red oak are being taken by oak wilt or moths.
