Talk:Hand felling

Example picture removed due to being dangerous

The picture's description was (mostly) valid, but the picture itself can be easily measured to be providing invalid cutting technique. The depth of face cut is ~1/6 (measured) instead of the ~1/3 (described) needed for proper felling. Also, the diameter percentages don't add up in any way. Most common felling techniques say to have 1/3 face cut (down to 1/5 depending on how the width grows, since it should cover about 80% of the width, and how you want the tree to fall, but 1/3 is the most common number) and about 10-20% hinge. The usual cut would be thus ~30-35% face cut, 10-15% hinge, and about 50-60% back cut. In extreme cases, you can get away with 1/5 face cut, but that's 70% back cut, max. That's why normally only the face cut depth and hinge width are described: they decide if the tree falls properly. The back cut must simply match them.

Also, the picture shows a tree that has damaged core. Using such a tree for demonstration purposes in a layman article is also problematic: such trees should be cut with special care and require additional knowledge, and thus are not suited for demonstration. 95.197.187.86 (talk) 19:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
