Search function, or touring the Archives, is a great way to spend more hours than may be wise ;).

Me too, Butch. Some of the best stuff is back there a few, or even more years.

Bump...almost 2 years since the last time it surfaced enough to garner a post :). This is a really good one, had to bring it up again for our newer folks.

Bump...here's one, Butch.

I think Brian was noting that the gap is a wee bit taller on the right side than the left.

Naw, Brian...he was just thankful it came out as close to perfect as it did. On a tree that size, you'd have to be far less subtle than that in manipulating the face to get any action.

WWBD?...that was a fun thing going in it's time :lol:. That really is a pretty face isn't it, especially knowing how awfully awkward the working position was, and that Danny was double cutting with a 660/42 inch bar. That was a massive tree.

I might bump those couple of Dent training threads sometime.

Thanks, Stig...and Stephen.

One more bump from the Archives...I really like the first set of pics on this thread...some of the best I've taken, I think.

I can only give you my take on your first question...it would be uncommon for a naturally falling tree to hit hard over any significant proportion of it's length. The ground isn't smooth or flat and there are always obstructions like other fallen trees on the ground and standing trees to strike...

Well...not under any logical scientific analysis I have ever seen with the possible exception of mass soil loss caused by landslide events, which have been associated with roadbuilding and clearcutting on unstable soil types and slopes. The purpose of the designation as LSR (late successional...

Long holiday weekend for me, sorry to be slow on the replies, friends. This river corridor is designated in the Forest Management Plan as Late Successional Reserve...no harvest activities. Except for the fact that these trees were identified as imminent hazards to the roadway, they'd never...

Stephen, there is no way the winter flows on the Clackamas River will let that tree stay put across the channel like that...it'll end up as part of some log jam downstream. Placed just like Mother Nature intended :D.

You got it...fish habitat. In fact, the District fish biologist had a selfloader coming along behind us and picked up about 10 loads of logs to stockpile for future in-stream placement.

Two hands, Justin. Official stance for FS trained/certified sawyers.

One more group. It's amazing to me how hard it is to get decent pictures down deep in the woods. Not to say these are good, just better than most I manage to take :D.

:lol: He gets my caulk boot across his backside...and then I have to do some real work. Placing coldpatch this time of year is hard labor :whine:! Check this batch out.

We're getting pretty close to completion of the last contract for this operating season, and I thought I'd put up a few more pictures just for the Treehouse's entertainment. Nothing really special here, just some more felling work that I caught off and on. This first one stood right on the...
