Felling Hinge |
|
|
The hinge is the
wood between the undercut (face cut/notch) and the back cut. The purpose of the hinge is
to provide sufficient wood to hold the tree to the stump during the majority of the tree's
fall, and to guide the tree's fall in the intended direction. The position of the hinge
will affect the direction of fall. The size of the hinge is important to prevent
splitting, fiber pull, barber chairs, and other undesirable and unsafe actions. |
