This Old Oak

[@waynetharp]

Nice one, Old Skool!👍 I bet you slept good this night...what a beating!👍 Thanks for sharing...

[@dr.torque-o-maticwithoverh6597]

Oak trees are something else when it comes to harvesting, trimming, or removal. Nice work in bringing it down.

[@ronaldwilkins6056]

Beautiful tree, beautiful vid, Master faller. I hope my little 4ft x 90ft elm wedges over a little easier this weekend, got a little more forward weight and lean in my favor, 20 mph tail wind will prolly do all the work.

[@richardsullivan1776]

Excellent job! That old oak was there since before the founding of our country. Beautiful grain and color to it, I hope you get some good green out of it too!

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

New bar , new skip ? That saw could tell some stories I would guess . You do a great job not pulling fiber on the stump . Thanks for another great video .

[@georgewilliamssr5230]

I'm actually impressed that you didn't screw up. With practically cutting off all your holding wood. As the great John Wayne said, " Better to be lucky than good"

[@neild7971]

Looks like a 2x5’ post either side. Nothing crazy?

[@Warcrime700]

pretty heavily weighted towards the lay. only 2 limbs off the top face the camera. probably could've used a bit more but went as planned.

[@justinmusselman1257]

I'm pretty sure that he used a bore cut, it's what you use when you aren't sure how solid the center of the tree is, i think, i'm not claiming to be an expert. Just adding my 2 cents.

[@larryreno8293]

Justin Musselman I was curious about whey he plunge cut the center of the notch .

[@junebug1988]

He's a logger!!!!! Cutting the heart out is what you do! You want to avoid as much fiber wood as possible. The buyers will nock the price if you dont. Watch and learn this man can teach you alot.

[@chipsofstihl7538]

We have watched you tip some old growth , and what a job well done !!

[@lumberjack_miramika]

Greetings, you were a little worried, but in the end you came out of this fight as a winner. Well done and I wish you well and good health 👍💪🙂🤝. Greetings from the 🇨🇿Czech Republic, Hošťálková. Good luck.

@George Vinson Thank you so much for watching my videos and good luck👍🤝😀. Czech Republic 🇨🇿

[@donplautz9788]

Great job buddy, stay safe 🚜

[@retiredwelder]

Sorry I know this was quite a while ago but do you remember how many feet was in that tree?? That’s a massive oak bud!! Can’t believe it was 💯 percent solid. That’s awesome!!!

[@johndunbar2393]

That thing is a monster! Nice harvest brother!

[@heavywreckoning7864]

Well done as usual. If you can give us an update, I'd like to know what the end user did with it. Lots of knots and lightning strikes makes it seem like quite a few low quality boards. Wondering if maybe it got used for something special 😉

[@VideosByAl]

Good job taking your time and doing that one safe. We have some monsters like that here in Eastern Iowa.

[@oldmanfred8676]

Ol’ Skool, our Hero! Looks like a boundary Oak.

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

ahhh yesss the master is at it again !!!!

[@chrissanders8783]

Dammit boy..you did damn good job.!!!! I like that smooth cut ...no tooth pics..perfect saw ..hard hat. BUT NO CHAPS. !! ...na .perfect cut

[@forestercroatia]

I felt in Croatia when it fell, It's true ;)

[@gregbrown9271]

That old beast had good balance and dam good foot print 💪👍

[@drewnelson6463]

Sad to see something 150+ years old come down. It still looked pretty healthy

[@outinthewood3578]

I mentioned them before Hilift wedges, have a look on line. Enjoyed that !

[@ironwoodworkman4917]

@OL' Skool Loggin I like how you take the extra lip off the face cut to make it easy to skid. I also think it is funny when people do not know why you make the shallow face cut. ( Waste not want not ) You are logging to make $ right? ( Yep... thought so ) :) That is beautiful timber. Thank You for the video friend.

[@robertkennedy3632]

Hey Ol'Skool, that was a dandy. Wow

[@andycobbcobbbroslogging7125]

Skool teacher. You r the damdest thing I ever seen brother. You remind me of Matt Dillon. When he got on an outlaws trail, it was all over And when a big tree sees you. It might as well go ahead and fall down. Cus it’s going down. Give em hell Skool Teacher. AC

[@forestercroatia]

Badass logger!

[@AugustHunicke]

👊🏼😎

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Ol'skool!!😀😀 Nice job!! I hate cutting those kind of trees that are as wide as they are tall. That thing was a beast. I don't know if I could find a mill around here that could even saw the butt log Take care my friend and stay safe and healthy!!😀😀❤

[@MrYahoo74]

Wow what a creature , you seem to find them all ! Surprised it was clean inside nice work👍🏽👍🏽

[@jamiedalluge9472]

Nice job bud and what a beautiful stump top u nailed it

[@mikeclark4412]

I just had a 150 footer takin down. Base was 6'2" .About 200 years old. This was nice indeed.

[@stihl0903]

Lovely tree. Bet the ground shook when that came down.Great job.

[@michellepugh2859]

To me it always seems trees like that stand neutral. I fell a cherry of the same shape (half the size of this one) but the prevailing wind was outta the north so decided to fall the tree to the south which made things very easy. Awesome video. Topping that thing was probably quite a job?

[@jakegilly6438]

Cut it before it rots away

[@oldtireman4665]

Surprised something that big had survived so long!!

[@eispizaetusbartelsi5174]

Good job👍👌😍

You should have more subscribers , that was awesome ! Some days we eat steak , other days the steak eats you !

[@rogervandergriff1851]

[@crusader777]

That is a true blood beauty of a tree! Good job

[@MichaelSmith-fv5uo]

What was the demamiter of that tree

[@jamesrivis620]

diameter

[@scruffy6151]

6 feet 2 inches

[@davidgilmore2405]

Way to small in the front. You have to get under the big sods

[@PA_Wilds_Coyote]

Holy Crap! I think you need a bigger hammer!! lol great video!!

[@jamesrivis620]

How old is that tree ?

[@neild7971]

Massive growth rings by the look of it! Maybe 100-150years? Out in the open sucking up all the water and sun. In Britain, likely in a woodland, you could find one that size 800+ years old

[@jessiehodges1513]

Clearly 90% of these spectators commenting have never cut down anything larger than a Christmas tree 🎄

[@MsMixd]

That used to be a nice tree. So sad. By the way, who taught you how to fell a tree? Why would you cut into you notch?

[@commerc9102]

He cut the guts outa the tree so it didn't split bad because he was taking it with the lean

[@Vickvineager]

He’s cutting his hinge out for whatever reason, if it’s a leaner you bore cut it from the side, not the notch.

[@jameyburton7724]

Trust me he knows what he's doing y'all don't have a clue one of the best feller's out there

[@MichaelSmith-fv5uo]

When a tree is so big that you can make lumber logs out of the limbs that's a big damn tree

[@shahriariran44]

Nicely done old man.

[@rossinnz]

Nice cut

[@cathiwim]

Enjoyed your vid. Bet that tree was 150 yrs old if it was a day!

[@meandnature6452]

Very nice wood! i hope you build something nice from it

[@jasonsims4029]

It looked solid.

[@lewisbaileywoodworks]

Sweet job!

[@joelshuman9243]

That was one hell of a good job. Keep safe

[@SonOfLiberty1984]

That sure is a different animal than fir or any of that straight up and down lumber. All those limbs really got to make a guy think about where the weight is. I can't believe how that mother held on with such little hinge wood!

[@oldmaninthewood6514]

I would’ve thought it was hollow

[@coalminer7755]

I'd like to have what was left over for firewood. Cool vidsow.

[@jimaston6768]

Good to watch 👍

[@tmack2090]

don't get much lift with them plastic wedges !! never cared for them !! need to get some steel ones for them biggins or tree jack !! hate see a man beat his brains out !!! just carry a couple for when you really need them I know their heavy but their there when you them and you get a lot more lift !! I cut some big ones liked that before I know what its like !! always enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing !! be safe !!

That was like, 1/4" of wood holding? (whew)…….got her down tho....

[@jasonsims4029]

Was it lightning strike ?

[@stanleybroadhead8978]

You leave a pretty stump. Bad to the BONE.

[@chrissanders8783]

You've cut timber before and lot of it I can tell !

[@mrbakerskatz]

Class dismissed !

[@victor-emmanuel7485]

Face cut was way too small... the tree had no clue what to do while being cut

[@commerc9102]

Good job old timer

[@kevinallen206]

Would've made it a lot easier if the under cut was the right size

[@louisvandeventer2497]

Yup, probably no need for the wedges either🤷‍♂️

[@kevinallen206]

@@louisvandeventer2497 probably not. Especially beings it looked like it could be dropped any direction

[@thirdstreettito]

Face cut was too shallow. Also, you can double up wedges. This took you about 3x as long as it should've.

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

he did double ! you should make a vid and show this novice hows its done , its obvious he dont know nothin he just a young buck that was only his 2rd or third tree hes evercut ! he usualy hanging in moms basement in his underwear watching youtube and comenting on how other people do there jobs !
