Pretty impressive tree felling

Ignoring any possible Elf'n'Safety concerns, and remembering this is rural US we're looking at here, this is pretty impressive accuracy from this lumberjack! :shock: :lol:

You've obviously got something in mind. I look forward to your video as your mums tree comes tumbling down.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Conifers with nice straight trunks and regular, balanced heads are dead easy - no great challenge there. Deciduous trees with uneven heads of very heavy branches are quite another matter, they try to twist as the hinge weakens while the tree is falling. Much trickier and less predictable...!

That's as maybe, but still, he didn't have much room for error there…
