Stika Spruce fell

[Mike Hill]

Loverly day for a bit of felling.

 

The client kept the Timber as he "wanted a few planks for his cabin".

 

Safe to say he will have all he'll ever need!

Which comes first, the gob cuts or the cut at 90º to the hinge?

Looks like a nice job, even if your mate is dressed for fishing!

The regular "Gob" cuts come first.The cuts at 90deg are to halve the "Gob" to make it easier to knock the gob out.The saw bar is 36" and I bored the middle out of the Tree from the front.

 

I usually make the bottom cut of the "Gob" upwards,so in conjunction with a inwards facing top cut in the "Gob" you can fit the power head of the saw further into the "Gob" when boring out the middle.
