Falling wedges. What's good, what's not, and why?

[Rounder]

I could probably do one or two more small ones at 7:00. No more than 3. 4 is okay. 5 will work. But absolutly no more than 10!!

That'll work, getting up at 3:30 lately, so I ain't much of a night owl.

No wedges needed. The cow audience appeared after the ant antics. The bigger bull was supposed to be sent to the freezer today, but that was cancelled. The Used Dog, that mangy cur, was hunkered in the pickup cab when the bovines appeared.

I like that bumper sticker.

Yeah the sloping back cut has the power of BS.

Dan, we're calling that the slopping back-cut now. That's what Paccity calls it and I think it fits.

I'll take it as a compliment and wear it with pride ! (I hope that's what you meant )

There is such a thing as not having enough wedges. The shorter the wedge the more lift available in a shorter distance. Having a variety of sizes will save a lot head scratchin when you can not get the tree to fall.

A Bucking Faux Pas

There were no rocks to be found. I drop started the Barbie Saw for the first time though. I also chose the wedge color to match the Barbie Saw.

With a short wedge on smaller tree it will allow the faller to rev the saw to trim up the hinge and tap the wedge in.

Very nice color coordination. I am afraid my wedges will clash with my saw now. Dammit!!

That is a nice 44. Did you ever get your 031 going? Good old saws - Sam
