Felling around the other trees, less than 20 cm in diameter
This felling technique is used to get around the crown of any trees in front. The diameter of the tree must not exceed 20 cm.
1
Cut the directional notch
2
Start by sawing the felling cut from the side of the trunk that you want the tree to lean towards. Cut from the hinge, leaving only a small portion of the hinge on the opposite side. The remaining hinge should be thicker than normal.
3
Press the tree over to the side where the hinge has been sawn off. Continue to push the tree in the direction of felling past the trees in front.
