Trees you've cut

[so il logger]

I should be fired

I damn sure couldn't keep my job by making face cuts like yours...

Can you explain what's up with the deep ass conventional? May as well raise up a tad on the back from what the pic shows.

Pffft what am I talking about, I never face nothing anyway... Carry on

A higher stump cost money, 5-10 inch per tree is not much. But with maybe 100 trees he cut down in a week, there is a lot that comes together.
That are my 2pennys
@huskyboy
What is ur reason?

Start a thread so we can all learn from you about timber cutting. Please... we are all interested in learning from you since you have so much advice to offer us .

Yup you pretty much said it. Normally I make them a little higher, but on nicer trees there lower if possible. Perhaps we could ask @so il logger a better way of doing it and explain some different methods that could work better by showing some pictures of his work since he is a more experienced timber cutter? A thread would be nice so we could all learn from him.

Maybe he uses an excavator to rip the whole tree out of the ground brings it up to the landing where they cut the Stump off it there

If he’s like we are out here round logs are required no faces left in the logs that’s what 1 or 2 feet off the butt to clean that face completely off?

How many threads does 1 site need on the same topic??

^^^^ This precisely. Deep as that conventional was may as well raise up on the stump. We export lots of rotary logs per year. I know a thing or 2 about low stumps

I tried a so il logger style facecut today. I guess I’m one step closer to being a champion timber cutter now?

 

[so il logger]

^^^^^ negative on that being my style...

Lol

Keep experimenting, just watch that thick hinge with no relief. Could be interesting

The last bigger dead pine is down, sketchy as hell when the best remaining wood is eh it might hold enough if I leave about 10 inches of holding wood.

Couldn't tell the difference from a hello-copter

 

[MustangMike]

I'm sure there are a lot of differences:

East Coast/West Coast

Hard Wood/Soft Wood

Traditional Notch/Humboldt Notch

Maybe not so much a right and wrong.

I wasn’t sure how to cut this hickory ... Maybe you could teach me a new way of cutting hickory? A picture might be helpful, I’m a visual learner.

Not a hickory, but no deep conventional either. More times than not I slick stump hickory so as to not get fiber pull. Same with walnut, no real face just clip the spurs off and slick cut it.

Reminds me of jumping stuff off the stump with a small full faced dutchman.
