3 cut method

[Ivan H.]

it depends on the weight and size of the limb

when I get done with them on the ground and then I take the limbs off

Am I missing something?

It depends on a lot more than that. Is the limb sitting at 45 degrees? is it horizontal? is it vertical? or anywhere in between? Do I want it to land tip first, butt first or flat? Am I putting a butt tie, tip tie or any other combo on it while trying to dodge other limbs during the fall. It all comes into play and calls for different cuts. Making cuts in a tree is like tracking deer, you :censored: that up and game over.

 

[Ivan H.]

their limbs you can cut them into a million pieces.As long you don,t barber chair it.the angle the limbs standing does'nt mater it's going to fall towards the ground.Do you want it to roll way from other trees or property.I thought we where talking about a simple cut.

 

[Nailsbeats]

Clearly you haven't done much arborist work. What are you just limbing up conifers in wide open spaces?

 

[Blakesmaster]

Well, Nails, you gonna put 'im outta his misery or let sleeping dogs lie?

 

[Ivan H.]

I couldn't do it Blakes, I can't pull the trigger anymore, I'm getting soft, sorry to disappoint.

I'm interested in all aspecks of cutting and milling wood including trimming . Cutting is cutting right.

Right, cause we all know how easy felling is. All you need's the three cut method, right?

 

[Ivan H.]

Is that what they call tree trimmers back east ?

 

[Ivan H.]

I don't know what you mean by that?

That's good. Cutting is not cutting, different techniques and methods apply depending on things like terrain, weather, species, and task at hand. The only constant in cutting is gravity. It maybe the same day in and day out with what you do, but in the big picture there are many variations.

IT's not rocket science. Learned by experience.

No... Its not Rocket Science, but you need to gain experience from someone who knows what they are doing before you just go at it. Its an art kid, and just like art, some people are good at it naturally, others will never be any good at it no matter how much experience they get.

That is about it in a nutshell, perfectly stated.
