    Oak trees are something else when it comes to harvesting, trimming, or removal. Nice work in bringing it down.

    Beautiful tree, beautiful vid, Master faller.
    I hope my little 4ft x 90ft elm wedges over a little easier this weekend, got a little more forward weight and lean in my favor, 20 mph tail wind will prolly do all the work.

      pretty heavily weighted towards the lay. only 2 limbs off the top face the camera. probably could've used a bit more but went as planned.

      I'm pretty sure that he used a bore cut, it's what you use when you aren't sure how solid the center of the tree is, i think, i'm not claiming to be an expert. Just adding my 2 cents.

    • @larryreno8293

      He's a logger!!!!! Cutting the heart out is what you do! You want to avoid as much fiber wood as possible. The buyers will nock the price if you dont. Watch and learn this man can teach you alot.

    Well done as usual. If you can give us an update, I'd like to know what the end user did with it. Lots of knots and lightning strikes makes it seem like quite a few low quality boards. Wondering if maybe it got used for something special 😉

    I hate cutting those kind of trees that are as wide as they are tall. That thing was a beast. I don't know if I could find a mill around here that could even saw the butt log
    Take care my friend and stay safe and healthy!!😀😀❤

    @OL' Skool Loggin I like how you take the extra lip off the face cut to make it easy to skid.
    I also think it is funny when people do not know why you make the shallow face cut. ( Waste not want not )
    You are logging to make $ right? ( Yep... thought so ) :)
    That is beautiful timber.
    Thank You for the video friend.

    To me it always seems trees like that stand neutral. I fell a cherry of the same shape (half the size of this one) but the prevailing wind was outta the north so decided to fall the tree to the south which made things very easy. Awesome video. Topping that thing was probably quite a job?

      Massive growth rings by the look of it! Maybe 100-150years? Out in the open sucking up all the water and sun. In Britain, likely in a woodland, you could find one that size 800+ years old
