Show us your stumps!

Tell us about using the shrub as a redirect!?!

lol

Obviously not an ideal situation, but we didn't need much, honestly we probably didn't need anything. I was confident I could get it to go with a wedge, however, if something went wrong, an old ladies house built in the 1920's was going to be significantly damaged. We didn't have anything else on her property to redirect from and with the river right there, we couldn't straight line it without being in the danger zone. The picture makes it look like there's more room, but it doesn't feel that big when you're standing there. I followed it with a wedge as they pulled the top over in case anything happened with the shrub. It's a pretty stout shrub though.

I Love the creativity! The shrub isn't going anywhere even 2:1 under human power. A tag line always feels better than a wedge in tight situations.

We won't talk about what happened here! However, let's just say "The Barber" almost gave me a shave with my cut!

I hear you! And that's a big 10-4. It's really cool to finally be an a forum with others that share the same interests this is only the second forum I've ever been on and so far so good. Most of the people here seem pretty dang nice and experienced! Lots of good info to be shared here in my opinion!

Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

This stump is on my property. A four foot OG Spruce that was actually still very much alive with 100% of it's crown when I cut it down . It was leaning towards my shop for years and I started noticing conks on it. I always knew it had some center rot, but when I did a boar test on the ol' dying brute. I started shaking from knowing how much was on the line if I screwed up and lost it on my shop. It was a very nerve wracking cut to say the least. But I got'er done without equipment or piecing. Just a normal felling job off the stump,!

Pardon the duh looking selfie, it was cold, but it was a good day cutting aspen. The cool looking basswood stump was after flush cutting the quad stump down. I'll get some more pics later, but these were some good ones I had on my phone. As for the bad shots, hangs, or the ones I've lost over backwards, we won't talk about those. lol.

Here is a picture of my 36” pine that was about 108’ tall. Had to cut it down because pine Beatles killed it. Cut with a borrowed MS 440.
