Cool pictures. Thanks for sharing.  Why start the cut so high above the ground?

they cut above the twist of the roots. the lower part of a log (old growth) has funny/twisted/flared grain patterns.

Or so my Dad told me.

 :yeah:

Also the diameter at the ground is often up to double the main trunk which requires much more work for no gain. Not only would you have to cut twice as much wood to fall the tree, you would then have to cut the but off anyway before sending it to the mill.

It's fortunate for the rest of us that you guys are so educated about butt.

I actually saw that very same guy out in the words. He mumbled something like. "How would you like if someone came along and picked something off of you?" I think he thought I picked an apple off him?? I told him I wasn't interested, even if he had apples, they probably were full of worms :chuckle:

So, they didn't like big butts because it was twice the work?! I do and I cannot lie. :chuckle:

Back when the men were men.  My family has several pictures of my great grandpa on a spring board. Came over from North Carolina to settle in Deming.  Very cool find!
