Let's Tip Another One



This tree is a post oak that was struck by lightning last year. It was an easy tree to set up, but it was weighted opposite to the direction we wanted it to fall. The wood was solid; there wasn't any side lean, so wedging over was no problem.  I made the front cuts, punched through to make a hinge, cut out half the back, set the orange wedge to hold the tree off the saw, completed the back cut, and we started pounding.
