Reminds me of when the city I grew up in cut every single Elm tree down in the city in the 70's, Dutch Elm disease took hold and was moving through the city, Very sad. The city replaced the Elms but it took decades for streets to look like they did before they were forced to act.

out here in the western US, Mountain pine beetles are wreaking havoc on big swathes of trees. Southern Utah is covered with standing dead and deadfall, just waiting for fires to catch and cause all sorts of devastation. Even worse, they're starting to find them in Bristlecone pines which are some of the oldest trees in North America. They grow slow in the dry mountains and poor rocky soil where nothing else wants to grow. The bristlecones are pretty tough but the thought of losing trees that started life during the early years of the Roman Empire to bugs is no bueno.

Yeah, I'm watching the undercut and thinking "that is so big and it's such a difficult angle - how is he ever going to get that cut to come out right", then he lines it up carefully and smoothly and works through it to a perfect cut. Just perfect, great skills and planning.

I went on to be a carpenter and he to work for the phone company.. This is how I was taught to down a tree and still do.. or did. now a days my little saw and I cut trees that are no more than heavy brush.. But man what a great time I had watching this!!!! Brought back many great memories.. and you truly are a faller of quality and determination.. No matter what anyone else says.. I have worked and had more friends that were fallers then I care to remember.. You are right up there with some of the best.. thanks a lot brother for the share.. it was great..

Great video! I certainly hope that knee feels better!!! Your cut is the only way I know - it was taught to me by my dad, and he learned from my grandfather. Proud to say we still work together to this day- 46 and 66 years old, we go hard, but get it done right. Safe, and efficient. These guys on the other channels can be a little bit too much for me to take. But it's was refreshing to see you do everything the way it should be done. Like my Dad always says, "you don't have to see where your bar is- you should be able to feel what the saw is doing and just know". That was a perfect Humboldt, especially on a 4' + cut low as it should be, with a bum knee- and a shorter bar. I do anything under 36" with my pup- Husqvarna 550xp mark II, 20 bar. 24" or 28" for 48"-60" diameter and anything bigger - rare for these parts- I use my Husqvarna 592xp (I avoid 23lb saws whenever possible - especially when that's just the dry weight of the head, add a 36" bar & chain, a litre of petrol & bar& chain oil & you get a 25lb saw) but at least that's lighter than my 3120xp- but that's for a different purpose- anyway, did I see that saw you were bucking with not have a chain brake? I noticed you do something that I do which my father thinks is unnecessary and calls me crazy for doing it -- I set the chain brake every single time I start my saw, and every single time I am done with a cut and going to be moving with the saw- even if it is just a step or 3 - i do it automatically, just in case. What would you say to my father if I said something like, "Hey Dad, ask Buckin Billy Ray Smith why he sets his chain brake between cuts" ?? Anyway Thanks for reading! And Thank you very much for the spectacular video & primo demonstration of THEE way to make an undercut on a 4 footer with a short bar... 👍🏽👍🏽

Watching your videos transports me back and I see the threads of my life running through that time and those guys and that work so essentially, so importantly carried in my core.

They had a video of the guys working, and some of them used this method. It was so scarry to watch but, until I realized for my young self, they knew what they were doin'. It was exactly the way Mr. Smith did this tree. It was exciting to watch, Thank You.

The other tree goes by white oak or valley oak to loggers to flatlanders it’s called blue oak and it’s known to hold tons of water as well. It’s good to see the old ways are still around.

Within a couple weeks, the pain was nearly gone! I bought a roll of the stuff, called 'kinesiology' tape, a stretchy sports tape, and had the guy teach me how to apply it. You want to get checked out first, since you don't want any blood clots (DVT) or infection in there, since the tape might increase blood flow to the point of breaking some of that free. There are several good YT videos on applying it: Basically, make a couple of parentheses of it on either side of the kneecap, overlapping at the top and bottom, and apply each piece starting at the top, seated with your leg straight out and the tape about half stretched, and begin sticking it on, working your way down as you slowly lower your leg. By the time you're sticking on the bottom of the piece of tape, your foot is on the floor. Then repeat for the other 'parenthesis'. Lasts about 4 days, you can shower with it, and its sports tape, so sweating's not a problem. It's the same principle as weight lifters taping their wrists to increase gripping and forearm strength hanging onto the barbells. It'll really strengthen the supporting tissues surrounding the knee joint, reducing swelling, inflammation and pain, and will help you stabilize very quickly, before you unconsciously develop some bad habits with compensating from the other leg. Get that balance off between them, and you could have hip problems, sciatica, and everything else. Anyway, good luck to you! Hope it heals up fully!

You never disappoint Billy Ray!!! I have been watching you for years. I have learned a lot from watching you and enjoy cutting heating with wood. I will be 70 years old July the 5th, 2022. I have 23 saws so I always have one or two that will run. I have 2 old Pro Mac 610's a friend gave me. They do not run. Maybe this winter I will try and see what they need. My saws are mostly Stihls. I like an Old MS 250 the best. It's small and cuts well enough for me. I also have two Makita's. One is a 6400 with a 24-inch bar. Hope you are not hurt too bad!!! It is no fun to cut wood injured.

For those unsure, the bartip, when the saw is flipped on the undercut does not have to go all the way to the hinge wood. It can be cleaned up from both sides from the standard position as long as the bar overlaps. Continuing the cut from the same side however, makes for a smoother undercut with the same kerf.

Pure enjoyment watching a master at work. Leaving a stump of a limb knowing, because of the hurt knee, you would need a hand hold, and burning the chain into the log for a climbing handhold! You rock- and Love DOES win! Amen. Fighting through pain to complete a job is commendable.

Absolutely love this video. I have been running my tweaked 281 and another saw with a 28in B&C on a job , 3ft plus dia. dead ash tree's. I confess to using a different technique I've use for around 30 years on those, but it doesn't matter, I will give this one a try. If for no other reason than to see how the "geometry" of this works. Concern I have is the dead ash is rather unpredictable. So try not to "hang around" those trees. Hope your knee settles and doesn't stop u from doing what you love AND sharing :)

These big ole dead ash scare me because they are so unpredictable! The hinge usually just snaps off even with a much larger than normal hinge. Be extra cautious with these! Billy, I was taught to try and use the undercut method when you can. put the "waste" on the stump instead of the log! Great job! I'm 66 years young and had my left knee done four years ago after suffering for 20+ years. I was in the woods in six weeks and walking like I was 20! But, no one can tell you when to have it done. You will know when YOU are ready!!

I'm crippled up and just a few weeks post heart attack and a quadruple bypass. I watch everything you post and have seen you're a genuinely generous person. I say that because of the axes you've given your fans. I'd love to have one of your axes. Maybe burn your sign on the handle. I would cherish it for the rest of my lifetime. Sorry about your knee Bro. I'm gonna pray for quick recovery. It works. Thanks my friend.

So genuinely curious here. I always find it easier to make my first cut the slope cut when felling. I know the book answer is always make your gunning cut first then slope cut. What are yours (and the community in here) thoughts on this method. For those curious, Im not sure why I started doing it this way, but I have found it far easier when matching up my cuts, and getting the face cut that I want. I am currently working on training myself to do it the book way, but it's been a process. Look forward to everyone's onsite on doing it this way, and again, I know it's not necessarily the correct way to make a face cut.

I generally do whichever cut is the one on top second, regardless of which type of notch I'm cutting, this way the chunk of wood isn't sitting on my bar. This is not a hard and fast rule, but my usual habit.

Europeans are taught to do the slant cut first, then sight down it as you bring your bottom flat cut in to match. When I moved to Australia, I had to switch it up and do it the other way, bottom flat cut first, then top slope cut. Different trees, way thicker bark
