[Mike Hill]

Here is a Video of another method of "Bore and release".

 

You can cut several "Finns" on a large Tree,I can make a vid of this techinque next week when we move into some bigger timber.

Nice one Mike!!

 

I've heard a similar cut referred to as a "dog tooth cut", but not seen it cut using a bore cut.

 

Nice to one to know when for when we fear the risk of the barbers chair.

 

Thanks for taking time to make the vid and post.

handy for tight against walls when someone has taken the rakers down too much.

Great stuff, we learnt the dog tooth cut in college but always wondered what to do if the tree was slightly too thin to bore into horizontally.

i use that method if felling multi-stemmed stuff, if you cant get in with the saw easily.

Nice one. I like the bit you mentioned right at the end, about the sloping cut stopping any split turning into a barber chair.

 

On leaning trees that size, I'll often do that Swedish vcut described here

 

I don't know if it's strictly NPTC, but it seems to work. I don't know if it works on bigger stuff....I normally go back to a standard dog tooth cut if there's plenty of room to bore in.

I was shown that i believe at college, but its not part of the NPTC as far as i know.

Couldn't understand a word ''fun cut' 'a bit bug' 'a hivey lean' 'trees leaning up the Hull' could we have subtitles next time?
