very cool!

it was a douglas fir, and i counted 120 +- years on it. right aout the time it was last logged. the bigshot is bamboo, and so is my pole pruner, works great and its cheap (free!).

i was the camera man on this one, my man Rusty did the cutting. you can hear him cackling at the end. the wedge was just back-up, we had the winch on it (grcs) and it was leaning in our favor, i was just really enthusiastic with driving that wedge.

:D

all the material was to stay on the ground, anything in the road had to be cleaned up. we were just trying to keep the wood off the road so we didnt have to move it, plus there is an old split-rail fence on the other side. it may be cutting out cause ive got you-tube running the stabilizing edit...

thanks guys, good to know im not the only one. by the way, we went back to the state park and took down the last big fir. it went perfect! i feel much more confidant with a good one at the end. i took vid, ive got to edit and upload it.

that was the plan, but i got nervous standing on the downslope to start the back cut and i didnt cut enough hinge. then i moved to the upslope... and then had to go back to the downslope when it didnt go over. i was hoping that the bar on my 044 was long enough to reach from the top and nip at...

from a few weeks ago. lightning struck fir, 044, not so pretty hinge on the stump. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B_BZc4IxNDM?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param...

i rappelled from the top for the first and second pieces. the first piece had branches on, and the second piece i left a few good stubs at the top.

ill third that. that was a really fun job. because we were to leave the stem standing i left the first set of live limbs to maybe keep the tree alive. mimic a storm broken tree perhaps. from the ground i thought i would have to rig the limbs over the oak trees (on my right hand side in the vid)...

i just finished putting this together. we did this job a few months back. lots of fun, hope you like it. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9RkhO-URF20?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param...

ive tried descending on a notch a few times and never felt comfortable with it. even leaving stubs to descend off im very conscious of what side im on relative to it. i have a pretty good imagination and, when it comes to unfamiliar/sketchy scenarios, sometimes i have trouble slowing it down...

yeah, we call it shaping the pineapple. as far as the "bark" goes, if it were up to me i would clean off the loose bits and leave it at that. unfortunately i work for a company and the boss likes it like that. it makes it look cleaner, and it matches the freshly carved upper portion. you really...

ive done deodar cedars in spring with so much pollen that i come out of the tree yellow from head to foot.

it was dust, and lots of it. the area we were working had been graded, and so was nothing but powdery dirt. made for crappy grinding, but cool effects. jaime
