    if you don't plunge cut

    I cut mostly in the southwest. The trees are brittle but very difficult to split, interlocking grain. I could probably cut them without a face and not have them chair. If I was back east cutting dead ash, I’d bore cut every one…with a bar long enough to reach through. Short bar bore cutting...

    @Matias turned some random guy he met on the internet loose to drop hazard trees threatening a structure….he was right, those grey (digger?) pines sure do hold on well, and one can do some cool swing/redirect trick with them. They also tend to to be full of included knots, but none ruined our...
