Forest management around an ancient living redwood snag - selectively felling trees to increase sunlight for gardens and home in the surrounding forest. Exploring the advantages of using a Koller Mechanical Felling Wedge to safely lift and fell the trees.

Wow that last shot at the end I see a face in the tree! I would like to also acknowledge the videographer for providing great angles in those rugged conditions. Also I really enjoy her wonderful voice and dialog as well. Thank you both for this amazing video!

[@jujoynt]

Jay Roller thank you Jay! Yes the tree is magnificent and soulful. It was very interesting to work on this film with David - glad you enjoyed it too!

[@jayroller7054]

You Sir are completely bad ass! Thank you for another great video!

Nice to see someone doing all the right things on felling a tree!! Not in a rush and thinking as you go.

That place looks magical, the Forest Moon of Endor.

[@antonytroughton2611]

What an amazing man

[@guymcelwee3489]

Please be careful with that wedge. Once you get that tree leaning over center. Barber chair could happen while you're in there cranking on that. Be safe and enjoy.

[@coalknob]

nice!

[@DJD8RR]

Un maestro 👏☺️

[@mobelschmittde8192]

👏👏👏 Thanks for that informative and amazing video again. How do you pull those logs out of the forest? Or do you cut them in pieces just in the place where they fell down?

[@DavidGrothsculpture]

Thanks! I have a Logrite arch and ATV for taking the logs out.

[@flagstaff866]

Who is your camera person ? She has a very interesting voice?

[@nicolascuevas6595]

Dude...Exactly!!!

[@briabbdowney430]

Wow brilliant work sir . How can I buy some timber .

[@DuStainlol]

You need a Amazon store :)

[@larrydimmick2860]

I think by brushing out the sourounding area would have been more beneficial to you as a naturalist. You would be surprised how much light would filter through the forest canopy. That light is on every photographers wish list. Very spiritual and the rays are breathtaking. Thus the larger trees are saved as the property value goes up. Peace Out David.

[@DavidGrothsculpture]

Good to hear from you Larry, Definitely better light in the forest with your suggestions. With the height of the trees increasing over the last 45 years there wasn’t any winter sun in the adjacent clearing. Hope you are doing well, David

[@yokut13]

Still got it

[@bathtubshrimp2314]

Where are you located?

[@patricklacson]

Who are you? You're such a small man cutting such big trees with your Alaskan mill and now felling trees. Wow, incredible videos.

[@mr.fridggyyy5826]

Is the older saw a husky 2100?

[@florin26balalau]

22:19 right behind him that looks like one big tree

[@ia9898]

11:03 OO

[@jamiemccoy3228]

i think he could have beat sylvester in over the top!

[@motylanogaq]

Any one here??? Hello??? David???

[@elonmust7470]

Just use regular wedges..... .. K&H are great and they drive easily. 10 & 12" wedges will drive those trees over easily if they aren't limblocked.
