[stikine]

Yup, doesn't count now! Need to do a do over!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well choot.

Sweet potato chowder with prosciutto ham, kale and garnished with pumpkin seeds.
Just friggen yummmm.View attachment 105639

Now you got all us sawdust junkies' mouths watering. That kind of tease is just not fair!

 

[Jed]

I was thinkin the same thing.

 

[flushcut]

First hit is always free. It's the dealer motto. lol

 

[stig]

An unnecessary step!

 

[Tree09]

Yeah, don't know why you told do that. Also no need for scoring the bark on the hinge, impossible to see hinge size that way.

 

[stig]

Exactly.

Cut correctly, no chance of a barberchair.
Also you cut the backstrap outside in or risk teaning a root out of the ground or a slab out of the log.
Plus he was lucky not to get his bar pinched when cutting the hinge so thin an, far as I could see, not being aware of the possibility.

 

[stig]

Gotta love people who stick a wedge in an extreme front leaner.

 

[pete mctree]

That was a crazy way of bore cutting that head leaner. Too complicated which increases the chance of error. I really did not like how he formed the hinge - dragging the tip like that is going to cause him trouble some day.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

The bark showed a twisted grain on the trunk with the step back cut. Is that preventing the barberchair somehow, or will it split anyway ?

 

[Bermy]

Too many cuts for that leaner, yep.

 

[Frankie]

At least there is holding wood ! Some of the EAB infected ash in wny have the centers rotted out! ... The beetle only bores in so far so it must be fungi getting in and causing the damage

 

[stig]

He looks somewhat ridiculous in that red/pink tight shirt, but he can use a saw, for sure.

 

[Burnham]

But...buut...buuut...he made the horizontal cut for his face first. According to Murphy, that shows he has no understanding of the proper way to fell a tree.

 

[stig]

Well, according to the Murph, neither you or I know shit about cutting trees.

The greatest treeman alive ( with bucket access, of course).

 

[Tommy_B]

Thank God she put that wedge in. Was worried that she might not be able to 'send it'

 

[Tommy_B]

"Are you sure this isn't too tight?"

"Nah, you look really muscley mate, pop over there and start the saw. I'll grab the camera."

 

[cory]

he can use a saw, for sure.

Agreed, nice cutting. Just one point of conversation- dont ya think his face was excessively tall just from the standpoint of less cutting/time spent on a shorter face height given that risk of BC appeared low.

 

[Jed]

Dude. Yeah... that and my back hurt just WATCHING him limb out that boney Spruce with a 9 inch guide bar. For those of you who didn’t like how he looked in his tigh shirt, don’t worry... as hard as he is working with that stumpy bar... he should be a deadly Hollywood bloke in no time.😎

 

[murphy4trees]

Don't misquote me.

You guys love talking trash.. maybe you have nothing better to do...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice vid featuring JLs Tree Service. Joe Legate. Could only find it on FB.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Hell. Cant even link it.

 

[cory]

Reggie with some intense work, lordy he must have been tired after this one- giant tree and bad weather

 

[pantheraba]

Excellent. Master skill level...nice to be able to see it happen. Reg makes very good videos.
