[QUOTE="Old2stroke, post: 7349434, member: 141754"] Look at it this way, a tree is a column of wood that is under compression because of the weight. If you remove a piece of the trunk, that part of the trunk no longer gives support and biases the tree to lean in that direction. If the centre of mass was directly over the centre of the trunk, it will now move slightly to the side where the support is missing and the back cut should finish the job smoothly. Usual screw-ups are because of judgement errors in where the centre of mass actually is due to lean, distribution of limbs, wind, etc. [/QUOTE]
