    Cutting windfalls.

    I do a reaming cut on the side that will pinch ( I'm missing some nomen clature here, care to help, Burnham) as far in as I can reasonably get. Then I cut the sides, again reaming a bit and then just spring it from the other side, going hell for leather. On a valuable veneer log in hardwood...

    Cutting windfalls.

    I never borecut windfalls. Too hard to judge how much they are bent over in whatever direction. Misjudging that will get you pinced.. Reaming cuts are your friend in that situation, because if you are patient enough, you'll hardly ever get pinched. Setting a wedge or 3 is a great help as well...

    Cutting windfalls.

    I just came across this video. It shows some of the dangers of cutting windfalls, even though he doesn't cut anything that is severely bent. I've literally years of experience in doing this in both hard and softwood. The 1999 storm alone took about 1½ years to clean up after. One thing I do...
