neither one of ya never slipped and sliced yer knuckle? I cut mine to the bone in my 20s, gloves for me from then on.

Framing and cutting timber are somewhat similar.
You gotta know going into it that,
1. It's a and e time.
2. That your going to get touched up and bleed a little, its upto each guy to control what degree.
3. Very few get away unscathed.

Randy, what were they doing with that string line or tape pulling it out away from the tree with the cutter sitting there? Was the helicopter pulling the logs out?

Ya can't swim? I love swimming in the rivers here...except the closest one to me is cold as ####...stays 54* for the trout.

 

[twochains]

So....anybody know what the face on that OG is called and why I see it used in alot of the pics Randy posts?

Is that something used when a massive tree like that is going to have a jack under it?

 

[treeslayer2003]

I can't watch yt but in a lot of his pics it shows a block face. I think it's to keep the tree on the stump longer. I could very well be wrong.

 

[twochains]

Yeh, I think yer right. I remember now. Can you imagine falling a tree that massive?

roberte, you ever fall any OG?

 

[treeslayer2003]

76" the biggest I ever cut, poplar. I always thought the bigger ones easyer to fall than small ones.
they will go down, now getting um out and loaded, that's a different story.
old growth is a misnomer on this side, trees just don't live that long here. big ones just grew better than the smaller ones. I know there is old trees on the other side tho.

That's BIG! How tall do poplar that size average?

I have tall set of sticks to fall 2moro. I have to fall the pine out from the oak first.
