Hey Steve you gots some funny look'n stumps...

Why?

Not bustin yer balls, just curious...

All good, havnt had an expert train me. Self taught = funny stumps i guess

I love those stumps, kinda like a falling CSI. The last one looks like a shallow conventional notch on the left, with a bored out area (too far) behind the face, but the bar didn't reach all the way thru on the borecut, and it was kinda "half coos bay'd on the far side, then releasing the strap from the back.
This is way above my pay grade, but a deeper notch, and putting the borecut 2" instead of 5" behind the face will pull a lot less fiber

Couldnt stand on far side 3m drop off,so thats what that cut is called a coos bay'd? you guys lose me with your lingo, i can handle a little fibre pull.

looks like he is doing problem removals..........? one of those was almost horizontal.

An uncared for farm block, about 12 ugly ones left. Only doing the ugly ones to get at the pruned ones in a flat paddock.

I have another stump guess. . . If the head lean is on the left (as pictured) -- he faced it, boring out the heart and setting the hinge from the near side. . . Walked around and cut the far side cheek, and cut up the back (right side of pic) to finish.

Am I close Steve?

That's exactly what I said, just more better!

I think I get it now...

Coos is a local name, like humboldt, that has spread mostly world wide, for nipping the corners and leaving a narrow post or triangle of wood to sever, VS the GOL method of boring in and leaving a strap on the back to "trigger" the fall, both work ones faster and arguably safer, the other is just a bunch of dancing with twigs...

Dancing with Twigs. . . Wasn't Kevin Costner in that one?

No, that was Mikhail Baryshnikov. Don't you guys from Montucky know anything?

LOL

There is a thread "Got Lucky" in the picture forum. While the OP makes good points, he doesn't know what a hinge is. Varying terminology for our cuts seems standard fare, but not recognizing a hinge indicates to me that this guy might need a lesson or two that I am not qualified to give for his own safety. Take a look. Maybe I am just overly concerned. Thanks, Ron

Here's what I've been up to the last 2 days, not sure how to splice these into one, but you get the idea.

 

[steve easy]

Thanks to all, for the criticism/comments on what i can improve on. Only trying to learn.

The Montuckians we met a couple years back at their GTG were good folk if not sophisticated like our Coulieforniae friends

This load was 3700 feet 8 trees. All white and red oak that averaged 1.10 mbf. I've never cut oak that brought money like this

 

[treeslayer2003]

yes sir, good oak is hot now......get it wile the getting is good.

 

[coltont]

I hear red oak is on the way down on the price scale again. Not a big drop though.

 

[HuskStihl]

Congrats on the haul!

 

[treeslayer2003]

could be........white oak is always more here so i gauge the market more with it..........we have so many different kinds of red oak, i don't pay much attention to it any more.........just put it on the truck lol.
