How to wedge a small tree. Method # 3 ( for more advanced saw users)

This method can be fast and effective once it is learned. Although it does prevent the tree from coming forward as the face cut is being made, it does not guarantee that the bar will not get caught in the final step of the process. This method takes practice and should never be used by novice saw users. Method # 2 is the best method for inexperienced fallers.

I always come back here and review the small tree felling vids, as I've got a ton of 'em on the property. Appreciate all that you do Dan.

Hey Dan, watched all 3, very smooth. Saw your wedges with a corner knocked off and wondered where's #4, side wedging. Keep making daylight, bests to you. Oh, and I subscribed. 😃

I saw something like this before but they did the bore cut into the face before the back cut. The bore went all the way through to create a space for the wedge. Then back cut the sides to release, and create hinge.

That sounds like an interesting method. It might be a little to time consuming for commercial timber falling. I can see how it would be a really good method for property owners and small time operations. I suppose it could even be applied to commercial timber falling from time to time. I have had a couple comments on this method. It seems like it would be a good one to do a video on. Thanks for the input!

@@norcaltimberfaller1943 ya, I thought it might be a little safer to do the bore cut first - I wouldn't want that bore cut to become a trigger and set the tree in motion while being infront of it. I know you we're confident that the tree was still sitting back on the wedges, but that's what I liked about the bore first, is removing that chance.

Interesting. Looks like he uses a Humboldt for his face cut? Where is his back-cut in relation to the bottom of the face cut?

Why have you made felling a tree so complicated. I hope no home owners see this.

@norcaltimberfaller1943 2 жыл бұрын

I did not think that I had made it complicated. This method is a method for more productive falling. I believe that I explained that in the description. This method is not recommended for novice fallers or home owners. Method number two is the safest and best method for novices and home owners. I thought I had explained that clearly in the video descriptions.
