Very cool. When I was very young saw my father do this but didn't know what it was. Thank you for the detail! My only criticism is all of the cut branch debris at the base while you were cutting. Dad taught me to clear area so if something starts to go bad I wouldn't trip getting out of the way.

[@nothingmuch2023]

I just felled a beast of a tree today, on a very steep slope. I made sure to keep it all clean, and to know exactly where I could escape to from each position around the tree. I.e., I fully agree!

I have used this several times. Even when it's not critical, it is great to be able to control the falling rate with the multiple hinges. Great technique.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Nice! You are the first one!

[@scottcanizares]

What’s it for ?

[@rickdebacker100]

If you compare it to a normal face cut where as soon as the acecut closes and the holding wood breaks, control of the tree is on its own. Using this technique, the layered hinges you create with the vertical cuts will hold longer and bend resulting in a longer, slower, more controlled felling of the stalk. In my limited experience, the longer you can control the stalk to the ground, the less risk to surrounding objects and the less turf damage. If you have a wide open area with nothing at risk of being g destroyed, this may be a waste of your time. It's definitely not for production driven jobs. Try it out. It's pretty enjoyable.

[@gr8dvd]

@@rickdebacker100 Longer/slower felling apt when your escape is not obstacle free. Llikely apt for a leaner I have in corner, juncture of 2 fences… wish plenty of time to escape. Also (guessing) guide ropes more effective on slower fell especially as some trunk rot adds an unknown, thus the guide-ropes for extra margin for error.

[@rickdebacker100]

[@janissaldakslogger7603]

Never heard of the technique before, is this practical or just something that tree surgeons came up with to make it look cool?

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

There are other techniques to leave the hinge wider. This is one of many, but definitely not just for surgeons...

[@glenurquhart2300]

That will work on frozen timber. I've used double sizwheel bore cuts to swing hard frozen spruce , aspen and birch. It's the best that can be done to strengthen frozen holding wood. BUT it's an easy way to get quite a barberchair if someone does it in the summertime when the holding wood is really strong.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Sounds like I need to retry this summer

[@glenurquhart2300]

@@FINNISHLUMBERJACK Unless you have to Really have to swing a tree a long ways and are in a hurry. Like you are Bushlin, ( falling timber and only getting paid for the volume of timber you get on the ground and limbed and bucked. Or just tree length. There is no reason to take that much time fooling around on the stump. The Only thing those bore cuts do is make the holding wood stronger and gives the holding wood more time to pull a side leaning tree into the lay you have for it. If you want to take a chance ripping a tree up the middle, having the butt run out behind the stump then fall off to one side or the other. Possibly from as much as 20 meters Up. . Go for it. Just so ya know that you will be taking a normally Dangerous job . And making it 4 times MORE Dangerous. With no benifit to be had. The bore cuts like you did are useful with Frozen timber. If you can get your timber to go where it needs to with just a wedge or 3. And normal conventional cuts. That is the better , safer and faster route to go.

I thought he was just asking for a barber chair . I do one high plunge cut, bring the rpms down to feel inside, and then I cut all the fiber material if it was not hollow . Then I do a normal wedge and back cut much lower than my gutting technique about a foot . If it is a big tree, I will do a wedge and then a bore behind the hinge working towards the trigger . After my gutting cuts on pines

What's the advantage of this technique, specifically with a back leaner, vs a traditional back cut with wedges and a line? It's not as if the traditional method is lacking in control.

[@JMKady76]

Well, it definitely takes longer and burns more saw gas, if that's what a guy is after.

[@leeparatto2697]

I prefer back cut first on trees with a back lean. However this method appears to allow you to leave more holding wood so when you put your face cut in first the tree doesn't sit back on your saw when you start your back cut. So you cut up to that first vertical bore and wedge instead of cutting up to your traditional holding wood. When out there cutting, you don't always have a line available.

Never saw this technique. But I'm concerned how many times you stumbled on the debris around the tree.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you

[@Firedog-ny3cq]

Yeah, first thing I noticed, too. If something starts to go wrong and you need to get away from the tree in a hurry, that mess at the base of the tree could very easily trip you up (especially with snow on the ground) and you are suddenly at the mercy of where the tree decides to fall. Take the time to clean all around the tree, especially where you are cutting, and know exactly where you are going to get out of harm's way if things go south on you. What this man should have said instead of a snarky "Thank you" is "You are exactly right. I should have removed all the cut branches from around the base of the tree. Thank you for pointing that out to everybody." Cutting down large trees is inherently dangerous work. Anybody who posts videos on "how to do it" should do their best to show the correct and safest way from start to Finnish.

Interesting technique! But for heavy back-leaners. Why not save a "safe corner" and drive 2-3 wedges and then release the corner. Is this not a bigger risk to split "barberchair" when doing a back cut? 🙂

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

That is a good point, and another way to solve this problem

[@matthewl1187]

I was thinking the same thing. I don't cut trees for a living but as soon as I saw the back cut, I said to myself, that looks like a recipe for a barber chair.

[@ericharris893]

I use this cut to bind a side leaned tree to the lay. But you need to bore cut the center of the hinge to keep the barberchair from traveling.

[@brettblack7049]

The branches lying around in the working and escape area contradict all safety efforts. In the forest, this technique is economic nonsense. In built-up areas and near roads it may have its justification. Also, in dry or minimally rotten wood, it could still provide higher guidance in the desired direction.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

You are right

[@william474]

This is pretty interesting. Is there more, or less of a chance of the tree breaking off the hinge before it starts to fall?

[@glenurquhart2300]

Much less of a chance. The relief bore cuts basically make the holding wood stronger. Or better described as more flexible. They allow the tree to stay under the control of the face for a longer period of time. And give the holding wood the strength to overcome side lean.

Basically adding hinge wood layers

[@glenurquhart2300]

William; The thing to keep in mind is slowing the fall of a tree often has a huge effect on other things. It's easier to cause a barber chair with the added strength of the holding wood. The other thing is. It's pretty easy to pull half of the stump out of the ground with sizwheel swing cuts and these relief bore cuts. It's best to gain experience with them out on your strip when production falling timber. Or at least out in the woods. This Shark Gill method is a great thing to know and have available for the right situations. But experience using it is important to gain in a place where something won't get smashed, killed or destroyed if something goes a bit different. For residential work, I'm a Big fan of climbing and rigging pulling and or pendelum lines . Or shooting a line up into the tree with a Big Shot or something, and pulling the rigging lines up from the ground. But , if you Got It and know that you can do it, free falling using techniques like this is a viable solution.

Interesting 🤔 Cant say I've ever seen those cuts before. How far back was the tree leaning? I take it the tree was roped up before you starting cutting? Looked pretty cool 😎

[@sion023]

Looks like quite a faff, and im left not being quite sure what the advantage was? Maybe i shouldn't be telling trees, but It looked to me as if the tree would have gone over quite nicely with a normal mouth cut.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

The video was to show the cutting technique and the behavior of the hinge.

[@rogernilsson_Swe]

As long Every one is safe and happy its ok for me. Maybe it take a more time.. Nice to see a new way to felling tree though

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you Roger!

[@jekyllman27]

Nice Video!!!

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you!

[@marcfalardeau6058]

Why do you use this technique instead of the regular bore cut & back release? Marc, Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks!

[@Tyler-rm6pw]

I believe this cut is for trees leaning in the opposite direction you want them to fall. That why it was pulled over.

[@jirispidlik-qh6ru]

Super pařez :)

[@АндрейШитиков-ц8п]

Молодец, отличная работа!

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Большое спасибо!

[@JohannSchneider-z4q]

What about if the tree is hollow inside? Is it still a safe method?

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

No

[@АндрейЛысов-ь7щ]

Куда наклонено было туда и свалил,так и без клина можно свалить,чего пень такой высокий оставил?покажите способ как свалить в другую сторону от наклона без приспособ всяких одной пилой

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Легче прицелиться и показать тебе с более высоким пеньком

[@ВладимирМихейкин-щ3з]

Для чего так извращаться ,Я так и не понял, первое долго, второе пень оставил очень высокий,и самое главное рвёт древесину,метр на выброс.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Техника предназначена для наклоненных назад деревьев.

[@ВладимирМихейкин-щ3з]

@@FINNISHLUMBERJACK Добрый вечер, очень интересно,а если сильно наклонен ствол дерева то этот метод не подойдёт, может зажать шину при пилении вертикальных пропилов,а если удастся их пропилить ,при пилении с задней стороны большая вероятность расщепления древесины,а это очень опасно, берегите себя,всех благ.

First I would like to say I can dig it, and will most definitely play around with it when I can pick up a saw again. I have worked with saws professionally for many years but my no means do I act like I know everything. I almost always annoy any people when I first start to work with them because I ask everyone questions to keep learning things I don’t know I don’t know. That being said, wouldn’t this be horrible for a new or home owner working on something stringy like an alder. I did catch the advanced part. But regardless I feel like someone could hurt themselves in a hurry if it became a barber chair. I just imagine someone trying to figure out the best way to take down their own problem tree with a bad lean or simply not understanding physics and see this and get some bad ideas. Maybe a sick tree or one with a heavy side splitting at a plunge site and turning the saw guy into a shish-kabob. No? If so, cool. No hate. Just asking. Lol. Thanks for the upload. Fun content.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you! I agree, this is not for a rookie chainsaw handler. The cut is designed for situations when you need the hinge to be double wide. Most of those cases are for professionals only. Thank you for commenting, you have excellent points!

[@TomTom-rz3ph]

"learned" that leaving the branches where you have to walk around is pro...... Hello carelessness, goodbye safety!

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

[@GoatZilla]

what exactly is the gill right on the face cut for?

[@bman6065]

That's pretty damn cool there Simo. I still occasionally try the tongue and groove when it doesn't matter. But I think currently I'm at 2-9 loosing streak. Very good video you make it look easy.

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Thank you! I just filmed a new version of the Tongue & Groove, and I failed ⅔ so I feel you. Practise makes you perfect!

[@kenbarney8231]

Well done but u didn’t show pounding the wedge in. We seen it fall off the back side . Still impressed

[@luigicristiani7709]

very...very...interesting!

[@sydrider6023]

It slows the falling down I guess. Any other reasons to do a second hinge (if I can call it like that)?

[@michaelg8642]

i have a tree that the base of the trunk heavily leans one way, then forms an “elbow” from which the top of the tree grew leaning the other way. Its an invasive tallow tree so want to remove, but not sure how to safely cut it.

[@brianmills4891]

neat looking but if the tree is being "pulled over" I'm not sure how this cut is specially designed to fell back leaning trees. either way it would appear that the wedge and whatever is hooked to the tree is overcoming the back lean, and not these vertical cuts. I could see this being useful for a tree with a questionable core. This could leave multiple hinge points where a single hinge might break earlier than anticipated if it wasn't solid in the middle.

[@zibedan1]

Če je to najboljša tehnika... osebno mislim da je prezakomplicirana.

3 seconds in and you are smashing the brake into the tree. What a pro.

А кто и когда провозгласил данный "танец с бубном" лучшим методом?

[@FINNISHLUMBERJACK]

Я сделал, для особых случаев

[@SomeGuy8796]

thats all fine and dandy, but you did not show the tree from afar FIRST, so we could see the lean and how this worked
