I know... whats that all about??

 

barber chairing can happen to the best. Worked with a guy a few years back felling a tree 3 times the size of that one in vid. Barber chaired about 15ft up.

The tree was straight conifer with slightly more branches on one side.

i'd be interested to see what the top of the tree was like. it must have been bowing over fairly to have barber chaired that bad....didnt look to be leaning so badly

[Highland Forestry]

Watching that video again, I thik the barbers chair occured in the first place because he stopped cutting through... if he had kept cutting i doubt it would have gone at all and I estimate it split to around 21ft!!

However, like Steve said.... the lean dosent look that bad, shame we cant see the top in the video, but for all we know it may have had a good lean in the top.

look at the way he is stood its a fake leg

 

I dont care......

[MattyF]

why is he so stupid in the first vid???he got out of the way damn fast with a suitable escape route, bet if most people were feling 100+ spruce a day there would be some errors......thats the nature of timber its is to unpredictable, evan on the straight suff ive seen people get too complacent.
