A ballsy dog tooth according to my CS31 instructor. Attempted a split level on a back leaner but was too much weight for me to lift with the felling bar. So dog toothed it to fell it the way of the weight. The penny and size 8 boot are for scale.:lol: No room for error on the bore cut. I was given a 9/10 for placement n 9.8/10 for hinge :lol:

I don't quite follow Matt

 

Not with you bud. Why ballsey?

 

Sink cut is a little low and I always find it safer to leave a little more holding wood at the back depending of the severity of the lean, this decreases the risk of the holding wood breaking off prematurely. Not a bad effort though mate :)

It was a 10 inch back leaner at the original felling cut but it had too much weight so sat on the bar and i didn't have the strength to lift it the other way. So did a dog tooth about 18 inches about the original cut to fell it the other way. The tree was only about 7 inches wide there so did a small gob, bored in and left a very small bit of holding wood on the back. I couldn't do a simple fell as it would have barbers chaired on me.

Why not use a winch and fell in the original direction mate? Kind of like you'd do with a hung up tree?

He was teaching us how to fell without winches but he admitted that the tree had more back weight than he thought.:lol: On the 3 day course we only needed to use the tirfor twice which ain't bad.:thumbup:
