It's Burnham's teacher.

 

[Treeslayer]

cool link. looks like he knows his stuff, huh?

 

[MasterBlaster]

He's the nicest, sweetest guy you'll ever meet!

 

[squisher]

Lol I knew Burnham was gonna mention that. A damn nice fell still the same. When you talk about textbook hinges around here you have to be spot on for it to pass Burnham's inspection.

me to, saw the nip but didnt notice the off level back

I cut the far side first, the tree was bigger than the 41' bar.

This is one is an A+ right Burnham?

I watched two guys, with two saws, cutting at the same time... take over an hour to fell this.

Oh and they tried cutting the notch out... but just gave up and left it there...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

NOW THAT is UGLY!

 

[SkwerI]

That's some sweet work there, Fred.

 

[FJR]

Yeah it was painful to watch. It was two older guys that had very big egos. One of them was the owner of the property. I was on vacation and I played dumb and watched.

One of those instances ya just wanna say .... "step aside son and let me show ya how its done before ya kill yaself or someone else... " Then just bite ya tongue and chuckle from a safe distance. Emphasis on the SAFE.

A textbook hinge could also be an example of one that's gone wrong. Like my split oak.
