Would it be of interest to any of you guys if a thread was started on reading the stump?

 

 

Before you guys start laughin or make sa coments it can be a useful aid to younger guys who are learning.

 

 

I was always told (and I still do) read the stump after you've falled a tree. Then youshould be able to understand why a tree did what it did ie. if it didn't fall exactly where you aimed it......it chaired......it stump jumped

 

 

 

It may be of no interest to folks at all it just a thought

 

 

 

Also I don't mean posting monster stumps as they'd be of little use here I'd suspect (and that isn't being patronizing) also it the smaller trees that tend to cause more probs.

 

 

 

I in no way mean to circumvent practical training but it might give young guns a small start in understanding the mechanics of falling.

See the rate my hinge thread, there's some good and bad stumps on it.

 

Not a bad idea though, just need to get a good selection of stumps and results.

As a newbie in this industry I'd happily read the thread your suggesting. Every bit of knowledge helps me learn faster and hopefully safer.

I think it's worth a punt, why don't you post a few with some explanations as to what went wrong and why.

Most of my pics are stateside but I'll cut a few here over the next few days and post them......ie head leaners.....back leaners etc with a description of the lay etc then why I cut them the way I did........hopefully I won't get any that chair etc but if you guys really want I'll try and set up a few wrong uns
