I ran processors for years. 10 years ago on a small clearing job in western Washington we had a dump truck load of Maple chunks that fetched $18,000. I was taught about using deep face cuts on Okanogan forest fires back in the 80's. Burning, crumbly trees that need to come down ASAP! Messing around under them, setting wedges could get a guy killed. It's always a pleasure to see your saw skills.

Finally got to a last piece of standing dead Elm tree too. A small giant piece of timber for where it had grown out of the foundations of some old barn. I don't come across timber like it here. The weight of that timber, per volumetric area. You make a slice, and it leaves edges like pieces of marble carved up. I notice though the Elm is a wet timber green, that adds to the weight, and when exposed to air it does rapidly lose moisture which leads to cracking. But the timber still retains a high proportion of the original density and strength.

@academicmailbox7798 3 күн бұрын

I've not cut doug fir ever, but heard it mentioned here for years. Elm is actually viewed as a kind of weed or pest here (and dangerous as a tree in general due to bettle attacks or whatever it's disease is). Cutting Elm is like spending time with a terminal patient, you know the news is never good. It's a timber though that has earned my respect, just by being around it. Poplar timber, sort of the same. I've still got some Scotch pine to go, and some Norway spruce or something. Don't know them, as yet. I have a little bit of oak, and some sicamore. The dead ash is it's own tragic story. All of these species surprise me in their own unique ways, the only way to really know a timber is to spend some time with it. They're not all the same.

Thanks Buckin' for all the content! I've learned so much from you. As I sit here in my "Get The Gullet" tshirt, I have a question for you. It might be a stupid question but how much does your face cut and back cut being horizontal to the ground affect where the tree falls (specifically if you have a tight window to drop the tree in). I've watched you talk about directional falling a lot as it relates to the crown and the lean but does it matter if you're stump is cut horizontal or no? Thanks for the videos! Take care and be safe out there!

@BuckinBillyRaySmith 3 күн бұрын

@jasonbostian8111 3 күн бұрын

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Basically, how important is it that your face cut and back cut is perfectly horizontal (level) to the ground? I'm just a homeowner trying to clear my property. I have about 6-8 more trees to cut (already cut about 30)...these are big oaks (100' tall and 25-30 in wide on the stump). Just curious if it matters that your cuts are perfectly level to the ground. Either way, THANK YOU for all the insight. You have no idea how much I've learned from you! Side note...the final 8 are all kind of lined up....I wish I had the guts to cut them up and push them over with the final tree in the group! I'm just not that good! :) You're an inspiration! Thanks Buckin'

@jirusjirus9322 13 сағат бұрын

I think the idea of the horizontal cut has to do with the balance of the tree and the gravitational pull of the earth. Cutting on hillside or pruning limbs can be different but falling a full size tree just has to be as close as possible to be perfectly horizontal according to the law's of physics. That's my layman's explanation. 🪵

Hey buckin. I’ve noticed you put a deeper under cut in big trees (proportionately). You might cut 1/2 of the diameter of the tree. Whereas in small wood you only cut 1/8 to 1/4 of the diameter. Just wondering if you could explain that one or if it’s just about efficiency. Or does a tree behave different once it’s past a certain size.

As far as i know Vancouver Island is a tick free zone but the climate will prevail and that can change year to year. I live in tick central, western Pennsylvania and have been riddled with ticks for the last 10 years... have used numerous things including the heavy duty Permethrin. But i have a new method that seems to be working for me. Peppermint oil, continuously applied during my time in "the woods" cutting, climbing ,clearing and hiking. Even on super hot days with short pants and short sleeves and sometimes barefoot. Reapply every 30 minutes to an hour. Also ingest one drop in my super coffee daily. ✅🌿💚🍀
