20. 2 Huge Cedar Trees | WoodBoss.ca

[@johnmaclellan2589]

Bjarne you have been cutting in cedarland the last few weeks with there being so many very large specimens. You are always up for the challenge of each giant cedar specimen.

[@davefran01]

You gotta admire the attitude of a guy who looks at a couple of monster cedars laughs and says this should be easy 😀

[@haydenbretton2990]

Awesome, what a great way to see tree felling.

[@allenhuling598]

Thanks for filming your work, Bjarne, I try to catch them all! Work safe!

[@johnvermeer386]

Bjarne That was cool you filming that old pacific logging truck coming down the mountain amazing they are still in use.

[@SepticWhelk]

They don' t make stuff like that any more ! resycle , enviwomment ,

[@diegovd7215]

I smile when you worry about camera placement because, Dude, this is awsome! Thanks for the effort and time doing this! I am just grateful :)

[@loghog4392]

Cutting my whole life (65 years old) and I've never seen a tape other than a Spencer. Learn something new all the time!

[@leesharp7683]

Been at it since 1978. I haven't either. I would even hit the saw shop a couple times a week.

[@nickfoster9350]

Those old Pacific trucks are beasts.

[@kenbarbret6632]

Cedar Sweet! Great schooling for us viewers! Thx

[@DonReynolds-p7o]

Hey Bjorne , buddy I have watched you for a long time. I am always amazed at your experience and how it shows. Those big trees don’t bother you, in fact you take that challenge with a big smile like it’s just another tree. Even though it’s nine foot base is huge. Good job buddy. It’s a pleasure to watch your video. Thank you. 😊😊

[@heathsmith9956]

Gotta love that rush you get when cutting a couple of monster trees down

[@jwgrower81]

ITS IS A JOY WATCHING YOU WORK FINE SIR 💯

Noicce work Fella, that was a unique daring shot from the GoPro of the first Cedar falling from inside of the undercut. Cheers for another swish reel Bjarne, looking forward to watching you fall that huge tree you have coming up...

@@Francis-f1r They were in his block that was scheduled to be cut.

[@JoeAroner-SIWAYTV]

I was thinking to myself, the saw isn’t cutting as well in this video. Then you made the same statement and the need to file the rakers. Thanks for the great videos, they are educational as well as entertaining. The saw appeared to run better on the backside of the first tree. Did you touch them up during the video off camera?

[@polarlab113]

Saved out to the blossom as dad used to say

[@davidhaworth7152]

What does that mean?

All the way to top or close to. Where the blossom would be found on a normal tree

shared and explained on my face book just what KZbin did. hope it helps. called them out on it too. Always will I back the working people, doing an awesome job. Thank you. im here aint going anywhere.

What you are cutting out for "windows" would feed my woodstove for a day n' bit ...keep my wee cabino warm as toast!!!

Phenomenal cedar product a guy would be glad to make a roof or sidewall from those. Im sure some mill would use a a sawlog but there really not. Be a dream to hand split some 24 to 30 inchers

[@jclarkj6]

Cool. Camera in stump view.

[@anthonygnewbreast1609]

As I progressed in my falling of trees I could tell the rush I'd get in my adrenaline. The fear factor so to speak. I noticed that my fear was the most as I drove home from the woods. Coming down a grade with a loaded pickup truck. Was very scary. My adrenaline was off the charts. 😢😮😢😮 .

[@TitanTech-ttt]

Oh! The giant trees!

[@TimberPower]

i will buy a white glossy mug to support you! keep your work safe!

[@billbezzant3033]

So what do you do with worn-out corks? Do you sharpen them? Or replace them (are they threaded inserts?), or do you just buy a new pair of corked boots?

[@sydrider6023]

Bjarne, you should get the new Husqvarna helmet with the new design face shield. Would be nice to hear how it is. Your saw is really powerful.

[@RLee-zs1ds]

Those are huge trees, but I remember in the 1970's seeing a photograph taken around the early 1900's in Port Angeles WA. where a tree was cut and the stump had been hollowed out and was used as the local Post Office. They had put a roof on the stump, cut a door and windows, the stump must have been more than 25 feet ( 8m) in diameter. Even in the 1970's when they had a one-tree-truck-load, the truck carrying the tree would drive through the town for locals to see it.

[@leesharp7683]

Gezz that is bigger than anything in the Redwoods even Saqoia. On the Portervile Indian reservation i cut a snag that was 22 foot. Close to the size as the General Shirmin. I don't think it is 25 foot.

[@markp.9707]

Seen those photos as a Washington Native and been to Port Angeles about 30 times. Those were true monsters.

[@leesharp7683]

A one tree truck load is 8 ft across. That is still very large. It seems a lot bigger next to it. Normally a healthy tree over 8 ft will be so heavy you can't log it more than 16 ft long. So they get ripped. Just think of how would you pick up a 80 thousand pound tree 8 ft across. How long would your choker be. How do you dig a hole under it to wrap a cable around it. How long of a choker for a 22 ft tree. What kind of log truck do you put that butt cut on. I want to see that truck. How many loaders do you use to pick it up. To drive a car though a redwood stump you need about 5 and a half ft hole.

[@cheapsmoke4096]

camera quality is awesome :D

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Awesome tree cutting

[@scottyamos3615]

How's the new saw working

[@joegreenwood1443]

Pretty cool!

[@stevenowell]

Your saws always seem to crank on the first easy pull. Would love a video about what saws, bars and chains you like to run.

[@earlearl8850]

Show the food at camp. What you take with you,,etc. Repair area, etc in detail!

[@rexwells4552]

I just figured out what you were doing when you cut the notch out of the center of the tree,you were making a place for the Go Pro 😊

[@ako5bcv]

What a beautiful place ❤

[@darrenwidas2473]

Very cool. Love watching you work these big trees. Btw why does your chain/clutch keep jamming?

[@alanwatts9232]

That first tree was big. When it left the stump the whole planet went up.

[@headless0ptomist198]

17:40 I had the same thought doing the same thing, I uploaded smilar shots from inside the stumps of some huge spruce in 2009 or 10 on an old channel that has long since been deleted. I forgot how cool it looks but just make sure you take out that center holding wood or you might crush your camera like I did when I forgot to do it once.

[@mohammedbadruddin6944]

Well done brother 👏👏👏👏

AND MANY THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS...

[@johnrhodes9491]

hi their Bjarne just a question why do you cut so high leaving a 4/5 ft stump i can understand it on a bank to stop ather trees rolling down bank but it seems a big waist of good wood other times by the way i like

[@jens5934]

Thank you for these great videos of beautiful countryside and the impressive skills you have. You make it look very easy, but I’m sure it’s anything but! I just wish you’d ditch that new microphone, or run two sounds tracks during editing. Use the camera mike for when you’re cutting and then, when talking use the mike on the body. You never talk while the chainsaw is working anyways!?! Just an idea.

[@RICHARD-mn3nd]

I think they looked their best standing!!!

[@tommagera885]

Seams like the 592 could use a higher volume oil pump for those big cedars.

[@w8stral]

Actually it is the heat stretching the chain for the most part allowing chips between the nose sprocket and chain. Though I suppose you could say heat is also oil =-) Or he just hasn't opened his oiler and is just going stock. Or closed the oiler for small stuff and forgot(heavens knows I have done that many times)

[@cameronhamer9432]

@@w8stralthe oiler hole in the bar gets plugged , cedar dust mixed with oil is just like glue , you have to take the side cover off to clear it . 👍🇨🇦

[@w8stral]

That as well, but in my finding and Western Red cedar that has not been a problem, but rather a bigger problem is the bar track loads up with sawdust pushing chain up and further off nose sprocket and when that happens bigger and bigger chips can get in till nose is plugged. Doesn't seem to matter what type of oil be it used engine oil or expensive "new" bar oil. So, long ago, I used used oil I pick up from wherever(have a construction guy who has lots of machines who gives me as much used oil as I could ever use). True can absolutely open the oiler WIDE open DUMPing oil down the bar and that helps, but when you run out of oil before you run out of gas.... ugg @@cameronhamer9432

[@joeJrbill]

OR ADD SOME TURPITINE TO THE CHAIN OIL...

[@ToddAdams1234]

Bjarne, is your home ON Vancouver Island or somewhere else. I’m only asking because I’m curious about transit times and hassles of getting to the logging camp where you stay for a few weeks and then come home. Because if the hassle isn’t worth it then…I’m fairly certain that you know what I mean by that.

[@jimmylarge1148]

I love saws. I love saw vids. I use saws on trees. I AM ALWAYS SAD FOR THE TREE.

[@w8stral]

So: 300ish years old since those ones are open grown?

[@Scott-d7d]

There's a doug fir where I go fishing/shrooming that measures 34' circum. Leans way out, way up over the upper Sauk river. Nowhere to stand at all on the downhill side. Could be why it was spared from the logging boom of the early 19th century. Would love to see how you would take it down if allowed. Although at this point it's kind of an icon

[@BjarneButler]

Sounds like it’ll needs springboards

[@earlearl8850]

Why don't you hollow one of those big trees out. Make it a small livable cabin. Like they used to. I seem them in the woods. Now!

[@shamabdullah6891]

Good... from Malaysia 🇲🇾👍🏿

[@NicholasKroninger-rk8oh]

Yeah I remember always falling a tree onto another tree so you don't get your chain in the dirt going underneath cutting the tree into sections. Do the sides, then cut the top then it caves perfectly...🌙🕸🎩🤘💡

[@eriknelson6529]

That's an upgraded 592

[@Rustyrailhead]

What are the straps around the trees for and how often you sharpen the chain

[@BjarneButler]

The straps are to hold three together when they hit the ground. They split easy when they’re hollow and you on steep ground. I sharpen 2-4 times a day average.

[@henrikgrigor384]

I am curious to know how you carry them to workshop ?

[@TLBF]

What kind of axe is that? Thanks for posting! I learn a lot from your videos!

[@BjarneButler]

Thanks for watching. It’s just a generic axe from the local saw shop

[@riftraft2015]

Nice job fella. Really nice to see a Sawyer that knows what the hell he is doing. Well done. 👍 I watch so many of these with self proclaimed hacks that have no idea how to cut big timber. Especially hardwood. They split trees, pull the centers, fall them on rocks and shatter them. That really test my gag reflexes. 😂 Back in my day, we would have been fired for that shit, Or at best, sent to be choker bitch. 😅 Btw, I kept my rakers filed down so far NOBODY would touch my saws. They couldnt handle them. 😂😂

[@Scott-d7d]

I must be spoiled or something because here in Darrington, WA these "HUGE" trees are all over the place so not such a rarity as you seem to think it is. However the US forest service is MUCH different than in Canada and so down here we aren't allowed to take a leak next to them let alone kill 'em so that I guess would be a rarity. Had to be quite a rush

[@JHizzleinthebizzlePNW]

We have cut all ours down already. Canada has way more old growth then we don't this point . WA Dosent really have much left in comparison

[@davidhaworth7152]

What’s up with the straps on the tree?

[@peaceriver7808]

Probably to help prevent them from shattering when they hit the ground.

[@AaronTheViking250]

if they have a catt face, meaning a crack all the way, they will strap it, or in this case, cedar is so valuable they will strap them to hold them together because cedar is like glass hit hard enough breaks into huge slabs and hurts the money vaule of that tree at the mill hopefully that answers your question.

[@patfox3988]

Don't see many fallers using the Humboldt cut. That seems to be more economically sound.

[@markostruszka1845]

How often do you have to change clutches and chains?

[@51spook70]

why would a powersaw lose its compression? My 365 husky lost it compression.

[@geraldmcclintock2567]

What are the white straps above where he cuts ?

[@ToddAdams1234]

I’m curious about those things myself. Did you notice that he was moving them out of the way for his saw? Either that or he didn’t want them damaged. I wonder if they would have a negative impact on the chain.

[@geraldmcclintock2567]

@@ToddAdams1234 I’m hoping someone chimes in. My guess is they are a safety to prevent the tree from a barber chair situation or they prevent the stem from splitting when landing hard . Can someone confirm the use of the white straps. They are in most of the videos …. Two or even three on the big trees

[@joerauhut9169]

I presume that is one reason ( to control the barber chair ,especially the deep cat face ones ) also to keep the good marketable wood from splintering up ,due to the impact of the drop and other trees hitting them when dropping. I use ratchet straps in my tree care work for split crotches ,etc.🙂
