Felling cut....

I'm trying to remember the name and technique behind a felling cut we were told about on cs31.

 

Im sure it was called a 'Swedish hinge' or something? Im pretty sure he said it's a cut that covers most situations, however we didn't get to practice it, we just did forward leaning bore cut, split level and standard cuts.

 

Any ideas as to the cut I'm talking about?? :confused1:

Must have been the danish pie cut. Thanks everyone, so many different names for cuts think ill just stay to the 3 I used.

 

If you're cutting on a steep slope. A Danish Pie Cut will give you a squared off butt, more product and the tree will fall past 90° before breaking the hinge. Also, far less likely to have the butt slip back toward cutter, if you accidentally removed the hinge. As the tree moves downhill and away from cutter.

I thought a Danish pie cut was when you left a small corner on the back cut so you can put a wedge in then cut under the corner so you did not hit the wedge or felling leaver

Thats what I thought as well . Also called a cushion cut or a step cut . Could TGB be thinking of a Humbolt cut ( inverted gob ) perhaps ....
