Just showing how clueless you are...
That locust hinge used a plate cut... the fibers on the front of the hinge/back of the notch are close to 1" tall. They will flex and hold without seizing. Those are shadows not bypass... then look at the holding fibers. Clearly, the hinge held against tge side lean.
Top photo was a condom white oak close to 5' dbh. Had to rip down the stem and take one at a time in the same direction. First was with lean, second, which I'm working on in the pic was against the lean.
The middle two pics were from a stone dead tulip that the aspludh wouldn't touch. Standing dead over their wires for years. House owned by an childless couple in their 50s who didn't care about the old playhouse from the former owner.
3,000 tree on the ground in two cuts. Look at the bare stem, no bark... and checked wood in the after pic. If you know anything about tulip, that was a dangerous tree.
I love how you keep notes...

Just so we are clear: This is one of the most accurate falls that has ever been published. That's not a straight west coast conifer. That's a crooked 3'+ oak stick falling daigonally across a downill slope. The target is 50' away and split perfectly in half.
If there is anyone on this site that has video of a better fall, more accurate with a higher degree of dificulty. let's see it...

Thanks, I didn’t care enough to rewatch the videos. You’re right.

Try hitting a road cone from 200’
Not impressed with your boasting
I also don’t understand what all this shit talking about our straight as an arrow kink free trees are.
This Western red cedar is about 4’ diameter. It was a cabling job and no way in hell did I skin it that high. But illustrates some of the complex crown architecture we come across

Wow, I'm impressed the self-aggrandizing keyboard warrior proclaims he's the best in this site, probably the planet.
If coach had put me in, in '82, we woulda won, gone to state, everything would be different!

Its statements like this that make me not take you seriously. Anyone who speaks like this has their head so far up their ass the only conversation they care to have is with their own echo bouncing around in there. I actually laugh at how you lack even a modicum of self awareness in this regard.

I struggled with this on trees that were bigger in diameter than my bar was. The correction was to actually pick a specific target to aim at and use the sight/gunning lines on the saw for both the notch and the back cut. If you aim the notch at a specific target using the sights on the top of the saw and then use the sights on the side of the saw to aim at the same target when making the felling cut, everything stays parallel and on the same line. I had always used the sight lines to aim the notch, but never picked up on aiming the back cut the same way. The consistency I gained with knowing where the tip of the bar was in the tree is astounding. I keep plow markers in our truck so when there is no specific target, I can make one. Cones work well too.

I honestly think you are just trolling this whole forum. I think it's just fun for you to stir a little shit and it's clear you know the correct level of arrogance required to get your fix. No one can be this dense.
Congrats on being one of the only folks here to continually reference your own work. You got a life sized portrait of yourself majestically riding a horse while on a fox hunt mounted above your bed?

We will let your pics speak to who is “clueless” Daniel.
And since you brought up the locust. I can see the multiple attempts at a back-cut from 3000 mile away (next to pinky finger on glove). You get into a little trouble on this microscopic tree and have to take an extra stab or 2 at it?
You do realize your are trying to defend the indefensible when it comes to the white oak stump. Without a doubt some of the worst sawmanship I have seen in my natural born life. Fucking legendary bro.
And the undercut on that tulip top? It would make a drunken angry beaver with half his teeth missing blush. Again, fucking legendary.

Me! I am the greatest, most accurate, faller of trees on this planet and several others. Here is a straight west coast pecker pole fitting itself into the tightest, most dangerous, absurdly difficult lay ever seen. I mean “published”.
