Check out the stump on this screenshot from the video and you will see a little bit of just how far to the left I faced this leaner in order to get a parallel lay.

That's cool to see. No formulas for that kind of work.
That is an awesome picture. No wonder you hung in at the stump so long to get the English on it. That takes hella nerve to face it at a structure and then dump it in the hole. That kinda cut makes you feel a lil sick beforehand and like a million bucks after. WELL DONE SIR!!!

That's every bit of a damn good fell, Aug.

I believe that is the case, nothing else gets much play unless it's for fine interior finish work, like alder, oak, ash, etc.; or exotics from the tropics, for boat building and the like...all expensive hardwoods. By volume, it has to be DF that dominates the ply market in this part of the planet.

Thats great August. Even a knuckle dragger like me can see what you did.
I would have probably put it through both roofs.

That is a nice shot, good work, August. Not taking anything away from it, but still it pales in comparison to Nice Guy Dave's famous flop between the houses.

I dunno Jay. I wanna say Dave's tree was pretty arrow straight. I'm not sure which one I wourld "rather" do if someone put a gun to my head.

Cool...that looks to be faced 20 degrees or so off the lay, too. Tire capture is very good.

Jerry tells a cool story about drilling a near perfect shot on a side leaner over a friendly bet but the guy not thinking it was perfect enough to pay.

Yeah I think I remember seeing that. Which video is it. On YT
I totally agree. AH's tree took tremendous skill, experience, and feel. The other tree was more just get the face pointed where you want the tree to drop afaik.
Great pic, Benn. That spar had the added danger or bounce issues. That massive white oak would beat the foundation given 1/2 a chance.

It was treewisemen rigging wood. Yeh that drop was risky but saved loads of bullshiting around!
