Cutting a Fir with side lean ... I prefer a side leaning Doug Fir versus a side leaning Redwood,

In this video I cut a side leaning Doug Fir. Its not a severe sidelean....I would say this one had about 10 degrees of side lean and some limb weight to go with it. That being said....I always prefer cutting a side leaning Doug Fir....versus a side leaning Redwood.

Finally someone who says fall in stead of fell. Why do other tree cutting channels use the for word FELLING, OR FELL, which is the past tense of fall.

He’s a faller, but a good feller, too

Thats a good question...I'm not really sure why so many people use that terminology...but it seems to be a very prevalent thing in the Timber Community.

I always had this crazy idea but never tried it myself. Though about making a hinge and back cut low, wedging the tree to get the side lean out of it but not to fell it over. Then do a higher face cut and back and use that to get it to go in a direction for falling. Honestly it’s probably a bad idea and has reasons why I never see anyone do it. But it does sound slick on paper

Mmmmm sounds interesting ....could be worth trying....at the very least it would be an entertaining process.....

You’d be cutting your hinge holding wood down to a square, albeit on separate levels, but that’s asking a lot of a small square of heart wood. Maybe if you stood it up perfect, but I’ve had some scrambles when I messed with the hinge in a way it didn’t like. There’d have to be no wind, too.

Hi Dan, a question from left field: tongue-and-groove felling technique is getting a lot of attention of late: when would one use that (heavy side leaner?), and is it useful. Any unusual danger with it? Thanks in advance.

@norcaltimberfaller1943 Ай бұрын

That is a very good question...In my mind I can imagine that would actually be a pretty good option on a side leaner...( if it did not pop out of the groove during the fall) ..it's something I would like to experiment with. Never really tried it....so I guess the answer is....pending...
