James, we rigged the crown out the day before, but we were a man down, so no time for pictures. It was a lump of a tree but had been heavily rj'd about 15 years ago. Probably, only about 55' max to the tips but it was quite stout.

Thats a shame not every day u get a oak like that to dismantle, bet that left a mark on the lawn i can just imagine the thud it made

Metal every where in it, even about 30 foot up that it why we felled it.

 

Safe and Healthty reasons.

is that the cut for bringing down a tree slowly?

 

It is a W cut for heavily leaning trees. You cut 2 mouths at 90 to each other. It reduces the chances of splits rips, and badgers chairs. It does need commitment, as once you start don't stop.

The tree comes down quick so you don't want to be near it, as bent trees tend to bounce around abit.

Apologies for the delay Mark & Moosie.

The mortise & tenon felling cut sequence as promised.

 

Please note; a dead 20ft stick is not ideal for this cut so it went a bit tits up at the end!

At least the sequence is pretty clear methinks....
