busted- look at it from my perspective, with a half wrap bar...if I am going to cut from one side er the other and stay on that one side...there has to be back barring. I mean it's going to be in the notch cut or the back cut.

Once I get a 3/4 or full wrap handle, all that back barring should stop.

Slayer, check out TB's Humboldt video. He dogs in right at the near corner and moves across from there. Thing of beauty. My 42" is way too bendy to do that, but I'll try it next time with my 28". I usually start in the middle, but always wind up chasing or chunking

 

[treeslayer2003]

Pretty much! LOL! The more I think about it...I sounded exactly like that!

 

[roberte]

here's a question, why doe's putting a Humboldt in a tree much wider than the bar mess with my mind? can't seem to get that just right.

Stop using short bars, besides its a mindset anyway

Hey HuskStihl... You wanna know what has motivated me for the last 1/2 of my life to bust my tail as hard as I have? Try sawmilling and logging when yer new in a small town and everybody knows yer Dad is a surgeon!! I remember the first load of cedar I cut, shouldered and hauled to the mill...the yard foreman, who became a very good friend of mine, looked at me and smiled saying, "Not bad for a doctor's boy"! LOL! I felt like I had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to get rid of that stigma. It did me well though!

It's awesome to be a Doctor...sucks being a Doctor's boy! LOL!
