glad I wasn't the only one to think that. I'm not saying that I've never made a cut like that, just that I try not to leave the evidence of it around, let alone have it put on the cover of a major publication...

Looks like apainting to me. Who claimed it was real anyways?

You boys just aren't sophisticated enough.

That is a highly specialized cut known only to the super pro's that work with cranes. It works like a snap cut, but has added rotational stability to prevent counter-clockwise twisting during the lift. Obviously, it can be cut in a mirror-image to prevent clockwise twisting if needed.

I'd tell you the name of that cut, but I'm not sophisticated enough, either.























You know I'm kidding, right?

Cover credits.... It is a filter used in some digital editing programs. It makes a regular picture look like a painting.

Just like this of my avatar.

I think I'd be hanging off the butt of that thing still cutting.

Great work! I think this is a demonstration of the very tough, "Schmangie Cut" wherein a climber cuts at such an angle so as to allow the tree to slide back at him so he can expertly judge the weight of the cut section just before it crushes his skull and/or chest. This helps the ground crew, crane operator or whoever else is involved in the operation to determine if the piece being released might be heavy enough to be hazardous to them, as well.

I'm SOOOOO sure I'll be attacked on this but hey, so what.

Who really cares what the cut is? Its being removed because it was damaged, right? Its arbor demolition. Anyone that is a carpenter doesn't care how he cuts down a building to be demo-ed. Just get it gone. And thats whats happening here, no? He's not cutting it for furniture lumber or for the board feet or for the health of the tree. Its trash and is being removed because it's not wanted. Who cares what the cut is?

Now perfectionists, ATTACK!!!!

 

[oldirty]

well if you are a hack and dont care how your work gets dont, then sure....great cut.

but if you have a concern about how the cut might come off the wood while you are in the tree then you make sure the cut releases off the wood with out a hop, skip, or a jump.

i'd bet my last dollar saying that cut hopped off the stem.


mis angled bypassing cuts dont work.
