I love watching you plan your cuts and walk us through. Everything went according to plan. It’s amazing to see the thought that goes into your work and I appreciate you sharing with us. Your work is fascinating and your knowledge is admirable. Another great video feller. Keep them coming.
You are on the game ! Very clear , to the point demonstration. I learned that technique in illinois back in the 80's on large white oak , it can get sketchy in a ravine , but i am still here to tell it, great job !! Stay healthy and safe !
Definitely a pro. I have never made that cut but will definitely keep it in my toolbox for future opportunities. Thanks for the detail and conciseness of content.
Thanks for showing this I’ve been looking for a good explanation video of this technique. This is also the first time I can remember seeing a video that at the time has more thumbs up than views. Good stuff!
Thanks for explaining this in detail. 👍I've seen it done on other channels but not really shown how to do it. Glad they took care of you with the 592xp warranty. Pat from northwest WI.
It's just a pleasure following u n do what u have to do. U truly a woodsman and you will have a good following, u attitude will guarantee it! Regards Gunter
Awesome, this helps me in my cutting. I have only tried this cut a handful of times on walnuts we have come across on land clearing jobs. Mistake I kept making was leaving the spurs too small so some of them sat down on me and I had to have my buddy cut the last spur 🤣
As usual…..beautiful job !!! I like that type of cut. Have run across a number of Beech trees over the years that good have been a benefit to drop this way. Always learn something(s) new, when watching your video’s! Thanks 👍🪵⛓🪚👏🇺🇸 Rick
Great video glad the new saw has worked out for you, I definitely think five series saws don't have great quality control. I wish Husqvarna would offer free software updates!
@Good.Fellers thanks man. I lost everything because of stage 4 cancer and finally beat it 2 years ago. I'm back working and gaining ground again and bought me a nice fleet of saws and most the equipment for a tree service so if my cancer comes back then if I'm able I can still do some side jobs. I love messing with saws but I'm stuck in this semi truck about 26 or 27 days a month so I rarely get to cut trees. I appreciate the videos you do and I have much respect for you even tho we haven't met. you look as if you do good work and I learn from you with each video I see
New Sub here! Excellent job teaching and showing a different technique that is valuable to know about when you have different types of trees to cut. You really got me when you explained how the stem could roll as needed as the top brushes by the others in the area. I am not always wanting to cut every tree that another can hang up on. Now, am I gonna run out and try it? Not yet but I will keep it in my memory banks. 😉 Thanks again!
Thats crazy!! Intetesring too! Fallin i usually either use the humbolt, or a key notch depending on. But i also will open the facw cut, bore the center etc dependong on, you know what i mean. What you charge me to load my saws up n come fall with you for a week! Man oh man!
Thanks for that really clear demonstration! Totally different type of cut than ive ever seen before, and i cant believe how bad thise cherrys were. What are the upgrades on that 592 over your last one?
Great job. Question, if the tree has a natural lean, why couldn’t a guy flush cut the entire front to the back and leave a spur or two as the hinge wood?
Really interesting. Never heard of this. I’m a personal use firewood feller myself so not so important but great way to get every inch for other uses. Do you ever run into pinching with the front spurs? I don’t know if the short vertical cuts avoid that?
Got the ol sawking built 394 out this wk and knocked down a cypress for my buddie…30mins had 3 logs and no limbs..lol..I’d like to try the new 92s…I have 395..064..288…460..880..and several smaller saws…288 is a dandy too….thanks bud…matt
nice cut . I would probably have trouble matching the cut from behind to the cut from the front , is there any trick to it ? Or does the front cut come out on the back side a bit ?
It probably doesn't always work, but the spurs could help prevent it from slipping back to you. Respect on starting the cut with nose of the bar i quit doing that because i always got kick back trying it that way 😂
you get kick back because you chain is not sharpened properly. Even some new chains like to do some kick back because they are sharpened to aggressively from factory. This type of felling is really sketchy because tree is cut off no real holding wood to steer the tree so tree goes where it leans and rols off the stump left right and if you are lucky it jumps out of this spurs and slipp back. I would never use this technique.Even if it leans do normal face cut bore cut it and then triger it from behind much safer faster more controll.
Awesome video! Hope the 592 works out great for you. How do you know which spur on the back to cut? Looks to me if you cut the wrong one the tree could go the wrong way.
They have fuel line issue and to carb .and comes lose.like 661 .s have similar issues with intake boot .592 lines get kinked.its to long cut it shorter
I can definitely see how that would be useful cutting veneer timber. Do you only do those on trees with some head lean? It seems like on a tall straight tree, or back-lean, you would need space for the tree to fall into? Just asking. I’m a firewood guy who owns a farm. What I know about felling I learned from the internet. I was way more gunho when I was younger. When in doubt, gun it out was our motto. Then run! Lol
Nicely done, your bore cut was less that a 4” above the ground. Every Midwest logger worth their weight will spur cut. You’ll get made fun of if you bring in a log that’s been match cut. If you aren’t a veneer cutter or if you’re a handyman or a tree service feller this is over kill. It’s for grading purposes only, the middle of the log cannot have pulled or damaged fibers if it does your log is no longer veneer and sawmills will not waste their time and cut off 3-4’ of log to get to undamaged fibers. And you loose those precious board feet. Also the logs skid out easier if you don’t have hard edges catching on everything in the woods.
Had a logger do my place in 2018 and every cut was like that. There is a reason for it and it is explained very well below in the other reply. Makes a LOT of sense when it is explained to ya. Everyone involved in the logging operation benefits from cuts like this. Take care.
Don't give up your day job. One stump left like that would get you fired the first time you caused a ruined skidder tire after running over that stump.
But honestly it’s a hard business and you have got to find someone to teach you logs Once you know logs and there value and usages you can effectively market them. I wouldn’t where to start in todays world. I would try to find a log buyer over 55 years old who doesn’t do drugs and get his advise.
@Good.Fellers I am small potatoes.. but the foreign dude here is not only an Ahole, he's what's inside the Ahole. Sold there once n swore I'd drive however far I had to..
Where did you learn that did you learn it yourself or did someone teach you that never have seen that done before but hey don't knock it till you try it but I'll be truthful with you I wouldn't attempt that for no amount of money but I'll give you credit that's the sickest I've ever seen
Felling professionally for 20 years and never seen or heard of this technique. No directional control and sketchy as hell. What if you smash the top out of another high value tree that is being retained or it gets hung up in an adjacent tree and you waste time having to take it down. Yes, cut the buttresses off, but if you don’t want pulled fibres bore out the middle of the hinge and/or put in sapwood cuts depending on species. Face cut every time. In professional forestry there’s no room for cut and hope.
One of my crew asked "Why cut it like that?" Simply.. Its to not waist wood? By not making face cut, you dont loose wood by cutting off to evan up butt? and so that the tree is not locked into a hing, so its free to roll and slide off of things? I put question marks. Because, unfortunately, I know with some companys it may not or cant be an issue. Also , you can use this cut for other situations. Like maybe on a sketchy large uprooted tree leaning into another after wind storm. Great job. Keep it up bro
Turner boys are keen on this type of felling….im learning…comin from residential and power line clearance im a hinge type of guy as we had to precisely fell ones parallel with 25kv with pinpoint accuracy and no twist,flip, or roll..tried stuffin a small one through limbs close to small line and not enough weight to push through and rolled enough to pop a fuse as it grazed line….my 1 and only time I knocked power…and I felt like I’d lost World Series….i jaw a lot hopin it’s all for the good on yer channel….💪🏻🫡

Nice job and very informative, thanks for the vid !
@user-sk9er8zf1b your welcome!
Awesome job and thanks for the detailed cuts. I just cut dead trees down for firewood but still like watching these videos. 👍👍👍
Awesome
I really like your slow, methodical approach. No rushing, but steady and efficient.
Fast breaks trees and equipment
Dude Husqvarna better start sponsoring you.
😆
@Good.Fellers you make it look so easy. Stay safe out there.
@Raised-Right hey, thank you!
you are a true bad ass with a saw. ive used them most my life but you are on a different level for sure.
Thank you!

Never seen this clever method before. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new saw.
Hey thank you!
I love my 572 but I really want to try this method of felling and I'd love to add a 592 to my arsenal!!
Thank you for demonstrating this technique!
No prob, be safe out there.
Another awesome video! Very informative, and love how you explain Why you’re doing what you’re doing. Keep the videos coming
Thank you sir!
So beautifully executed!! You have amazing skill!!😊

I enjoyed the step-by-step. As I said early on, you’ve got some savvy.
Hey thank you. Glad you enjoy.
Very well thought out and perfect execution, great job
Thank you!
Excellent video, Think I need to do exactly that on this job I'm on right now
Awesome, glad you liked it.
I was gonna send this one to you 😆

Thanks bud, we don’t cut the beach. Can’t sell the logs.
@@Good.Fellers Understand, a friend had tons of mature ones. He was clearing land for a home…..neither of us thought of this method.
Nice job. Pops always called it stump jumping, and only done on hillsides. That last flare kept it from sliding back on you.
That’s Spur cut, stump jump is different. I’ll make video explaining.
@@Good.Fellers Sounds good.
First cousin to stump jump!
Thanks. That was very interesting and informative.
Your welcome!
Great video glad the new saw has worked out for you, I definitely think five series saws don't have great quality control. I wish Husqvarna would offer free software updates!
All work to my old saw is warranty so that’s good.
Yes describe the Diameters I love it
Right on!
Very skilled. Impressive.
Thank you
Thanks for the shout out brother!!
Glad ya liked it!
Thanks for the shout out brother!
Your very welcome!!!
I spent many yrs in woods. Interesting video... I've cut many veneer trees, never like that. I bore the heart and have only 2 bands for hinge wood.
I cut some trees like that, but it’s a great way to pull fibers or tear a side.
i rarely get to mess with my saws anymore becaise im always on the road but one day ill be back on the farm doing what i enjoy
I hope you get plenty of time on a saw in the future.
@Good.Fellers thanks man. I lost everything because of stage 4 cancer and finally beat it 2 years ago. I'm back working and gaining ground again and bought me a nice fleet of saws and most the equipment for a tree service so if my cancer comes back then if I'm able I can still do some side jobs.

Sucks about the cancer
Glad your doing good now
Be careful out there!
Nice job Feller.
Thanks stacker-man

Hey be safe out there!!!
That my friend is how a super nice stump looks like no fiber tear at all. I hate fiber tear in the log. One of my pet peaves. Super nice job.
Thank you!!!!
Great video
Thank you!
good explanation!
Thank you!
I put a couple wedges in the back side cut, just in case the wind shifts enough to cause a problem.
Right on!
What situation would I be looking for, that I would want to use this technique? Why not just Humboldt and backcut?
This for special veneer cutting of hardwoods. If your cutting Humboldts this isn’t for you
Hmm, so dont try it? Got it.
Thats crazy!! Intetesring too! Fallin i usually either use the humbolt, or a key notch depending on. But i also will open the facw cut, bore the center etc dependong on, you know what i mean. What you charge me to load my saws up n come fall with you for a week! Man oh man!
Glad you liked it!!!!
IDK looked like a beaver fall to me?? just keep cutting or chewing until it falls??
👌
Thanks for that really clear demonstration! Totally different type of cut than ive ever seen before, and i cant believe how bad thise cherrys were.
What are the upgrades on that 592 over your last one?
There’s apparently different computer settings and a upgraded fuel line assembly.
Great job. Question, if the tree has a natural lean, why couldn’t a guy flush cut the entire front to the back and leave a spur or two as the hinge wood?
Hey can and I have video doing it.
Problem is if your not experienced the tree will sit down on your bar.
@@Good.Fellers good point, I’d say wedges need used for sure.
@@Good.FellersI’ve heard it called felling over the saw.
I feel like thats how i see them log in the jungles with big buttress roots. Well executed for sure👍
Thank you!
Really interesting. Never heard of this. I’m a personal use firewood feller myself so not so important but great way to get every inch for other uses. Do you ever run into pinching with the front spurs? I don’t know if the short vertical cuts avoid that?
When I first started I got pinched all the time.
Got the ol sawking built 394 out this wk and knocked down a cypress for my buddie…30mins had 3 logs and no limbs..lol..I’d like to try the new 92s…I have 395..064..288…460..880..and several smaller saws…288 is a dandy too….thanks bud…matt
Hey thank you!
nice cut . I would probably have trouble matching the cut from behind to the cut from the front , is there any trick to it ? Or does the front cut come out on the back side a bit ?
Sticks out the sides
I have some maple logs to cut
not veneer , but nice saw logs . I will give it a shot @@Good.Fellers
@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223 please be careful!!!
If I'm not feeling it when I start , I will use a more conventional method@@Good.Fellers
@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223 good deal!
Wasn't sure but the guy pinned exactly as required what's not to like 👍
It probably doesn't always work, but the spurs could help prevent it from slipping back to you. Respect on starting the cut with nose of the bar i quit doing that because i always got kick back trying it that way 😂

Bore cutting is a technique worth learning. You are correct about the spurs stopping the slide back off the stump.
@jureslegel3877 chain is sharpened properly I think it's just how you start it into the wood
Very interesting thank u sir
Thank you!
Awesome video! Hope the 592 works out great for you.
How do you know which spur on the back to cut? Looks to me if you cut the wrong one the tree could go the wrong way.
Experience I guess.
Damn thats a good looking saw
Yes it is
Cant count how many white oaks similar to this, I've converted to split firewood.
Sweet
They have fuel line issue and to carb .and comes lose.like 661 .s have similar issues with intake boot .592 lines get kinked.its to long cut it shorter
Local shop is repairing lines and computer issues as a warranty.
I can definitely see how that would be useful cutting veneer timber. Do you only do those on trees with some head lean?

Straight tree it’s fine is a wedge leave a undercut spur holding etc. back lean go another way.
That’s the goofiest way of felling a tree I’ve ever seen. So unpredictable when coming down.
Glad you liked it!
