If I was you I would go out with an experienced arborist and learn some techniques and applications for different cutting methods rather than taking a few pointers on an arb forum and jumping to your own conclusions on what the purpose of the inboard/outboard cuts ‘lark’ is all about, as you clearly haven’t a clue.

You clearly know everything, so perhaps you might like to explain??

 

In my experience, those that seem to dislike sharing knowledge, take that stance as they know the least..

I’m offering you good advice to prevent you being injured, take it or leave it.

I think 5thelement gave you some sound advice and you seem to have taken the hump.There is no "lark" when it comes to making cuts with a chainsaw,learn to do it properly or not at all and one of the best ways to learn is with someone who has experience as 5thelement told you

There are so many factors and other vectors involved,!no tree , location or weather will be the same and that sharing years of experience couldn't be summed up in a few paragraphs , spending and having some one share experiences hands on would be far better... or by learning from your own errors as long as your not putting your self in danger it's not rocket science but experience will give you the knowledge to know when and how to use cuts best for the situation.

Yes, what you say is right really, sorry for having the hump a bit.. I am a bit old to be off out with arborists though, would only get in the way..

Yes, and that is what i am trying to do.. One thing i do have is common sense and an engineering background. I have managed not to maim myself with years of large bits of steel, but then they were not up a tree!!

Sounds like another candidate for the over 50's club
