sink cut too deep

backcut slightly sloping

hinge not quite even

looks like you had to re do sink cut is that why it ended up been too deep

7/10 if you want a score:thumbup:

was that yours or the apprentice:blushing:

 

I was going to say that Bob but didnt want to bruise his ego.

 

But as you have started, i would have added, he pulled a splinter out of the log, so thats ruined the end of that plank:001_tt2:

totally agree thats because he was too high but did not want to put him down too much

and we don,t even know if he did it or it was his apprentice

but would all be going for firewood so does it really matter (yes it does)

There's another net full of logs in that high stump, if the old lad can bend down that far.

Here's a pic from a few weeks back.

 

As part of Dean, the new lad's, ongoing CPD, in typical tree gang form, after we had finished we let him do a small lunge, under supervision, of course.

 

Optional 'rabbit ears' supplied by Lil' Dave.

 

He was so excited he had to put his hands over his shiny red helmet.

Here's one of my hinges from today and no it wasn't the best one I selected, because they are all perfect

 

Didn't do the lunge pose because that pose is only for something very special, so instead we sat down and celebrated getting a very difficult and risky fell in without demolishing a house by having egg butties all round

 

Feel free to ridicule, I have broad shoulders and accept critisism very well

 

tut tut Deano for leaving those spikes! they are a hazard and could easily kill someone i find your blantly disregard for leaving a safe stump unforgivable.

I hope you can see that i am really struglling to find anything else to criticise on that cut.

 

As for the high'ish back cut i do it for the same reasons as you i guess for more peel in the fibres, and if the fibres break early there is something for the stem to dig into to help give more control if that makes sense.

 

Rich rule your pics are funny as but disturbing in equal measures.
