Video: The bore-wing cut

[Colin]

Approx 4 mins and 20mb in wmv

I haven't really gone into detail about this cut but I can tell you that 90% of climbers who come here and take on the dreaded in this town get stuck!

And this is the way out.

I've seen guys with 44's and 46's stuck and had to cut them out with another saw.

In this example we were only using a 020 but you'll get the picture.

If you get a tree that sets back in the felling kerf you can bore back into the same cut leaving those wings in place.
From there you can wedge or use a felling bar to tip the tree back towards the lay.
You may decide to leave the hinge in place or remove it in order to drop the tree off the stump.
