In Reply to: How To Fell A Tree posted by Chuck (CA) on September 03, 2014 at 07:04:47:
I had a line of fir trees beside the lawn that I fell several years ago- all except one, that had a real healthy lean toward an apple tree about 10 feet away. My wife hosted a baby shower for daughter-in-law, and one of the attendees was my cousin, a timber faller. Only problem was, he was awaiting a hip replacement, and could hardly walk.
He looked it over, and said "I'll get myself situated, then you start the saw and hand it to me." He did a series of cuts on it, ending up with a hinge that was on the side he was going to put the tree. He'd nibble a bit at the hinge, and the tree would twist a little on the stump, thereby moving the "lean" a little bit each time. When he figured he had cleared the apple tree, he finished cutting the hinge, and down it came, about 40° from the original lean, and missed the apple tree very nicely.
The shower attendees were at the sliding door in the house, and cheered and applauded when the deed was done. He made a big bow, then I helped him get to the house.
