A word of caution; when working with a machine don’t get complacent. with the excavator or shovel behind the tree, the hinge can still break early especially on heavy leaners. This will cause the tree to go the wrong way no matter how much weight you have pushing on it. #pnw #arborist #lumberjack #timber
A sizewell opens the face on one side of the tree. This allows more surface area for the hinge to flex. Cedar tends to be brittle and break off early, this is one solution to help mitigate that issue.
