Woah, easy grasshopper. Them are advanced cuts that can land you in a casket without proper instruction. :msp_mellow:
All in good time.
Jake, this is good advice. Forestryworks said it right, too. If you do the fancy cuts right you can make the tree do some amazing things.
But if you screw up a fancy cut you're very apt to have a disaster on your hands. And it's usually a disaster that happens fast in ways you couldn't predict.
Ask me how I know. :msp_wink:

What Ol Bob isn't saying, is that he's so good, he can bust'em where they need to be cut anyway.
He just eyeballs the sort list, and goes to town.
Hey now ! I'm gonna remember that excuse. I'll probably get to use it, too. Maybe tomorrow.
You kids play nice...1;30 wakeup for me.

hahaha, I power bucked a Spruce yesterday that was getting dumped for camping wood, I'm pretty sure I rolled at least 75% of the tree down to the truck in 4 foot peices (ok, it was a little punky but Spruce seems like it rots within like 45 minutes of getting it's first orange needle)

Spruce (depending) can have a horrible rotten core, and green needles!

not too mention that if you're in the woods and you even fart, 3-5 spruce blow down
I figured it wouldn't be too bad for camp wood, it was close to town, and it was my B-day and I had to get my fall on

had my goggles on so I only got about 17 splinters in the rest of my face and arms, limbing a spruce reminds me of the flourescent lightbulb fights my brother and I had as kids
