Hmmm. I tried tasting a little of the water pouring out of an oak I had just felled one time. Singularly unrewarding. I mistakenly, I guess, assumed all trees but maple would be the same.

Those things move slow as molasses, right?

Shaving bark lets you accurately see you hinge.
When limb-locked in surrounding trees, and beating the wedges, one can see when one starts to split the tree, as it can't tip. It was getting lifted, not rotated.
Once tipped/ committed to the lay, but limb-locked,I gutted the hinge on this tallish, skinny green doug-fir, packed into the interior of a grove. Less hinge resistance, and some sideways pushing with a pole from another tree's top on the bole of this one being felled, got it to wiggle down, a branch or couple releasing at a time until it fell.
11 true and doug-firs, and one small maple felled over the last two days, with 8 chipped. Logs moved to the cutting area. Yay, mini!!! Dead trees, and grove trees don't have lots of brush.
Had my new female groundworker for 6 hours to help rake and chip. Worked on a trail crew and a trained, newer sawyer.
I didn't want to dig out more than one fence post. The wire fencing, plus top-extension was a hassle to dismantle and re-install, with just one post out.
This rolled once bucked. Landed right in front.
End of the day, they added on 60% more work, and I'm flexible in my scheduling that I don't have to come back, rather work through after the Long weekend!

It's like a wooly mammoth with all those limbs. LOTS of chipping, I reckon.

Lombardi pops are great when you can fell them & leave the timber onsite. Apart from that they are crap trees

Finally finished this one.. Vacation rentals can be a pain, but they pay. Have to wait for windows of no guests.

I've only wrecked out one Lombardi poplar to keep my friend from trying it. He's an accomplished rock climber and Mt. Rainier guide, but...
The wind was blowing enough that when I went to top it, I came down 10' between waves. When you're blowing around with the tree, you don't really feel it. When you're blowing around IN the tree, you know it is windy.
Having done some amateur-type tree work, he thought he'd go to the top and drop little pieces, since the dropzone was effectively open.
ahhh...
He thought to start at the top and

I don't know what that means..waves of wind?

Gusts.

Yes, waves of wind or gusts. It would be strongest, every once in a while, and weaker for a period, like surf waves seems to come in sets, I think.
