ok now its making sense when i read your first post it said 8 cube on the ground but if its 11 cube then i can see how that could have been a workout for the jack.
not much taper either, pitty about the pith in the middle tho

i charged him for 8 should have charged more but its not a bad days wages.
really the log was a typical flooded, #####. full of gum veins. every board i cut i looked at and felt bad for him, but he was so happy he was running around like a 8 year old on Christmas.
i think his wife got sick of "look at his dear" and "isn't this piece nice" and " look a bench top darling"

i dont care if iv made money, i have more than once discounted a job below cost because the timber wasnt any good. not really my fault but i feel bad otherwise.
even if they are happy with it if im not i usualy discount the price.

Weisy, don't worry about him, there's a button you can push to make them (Wayne's) go away. You add some colour to the site would be a shame to stop posting.
Inter I dispute your "forensics" on the photos. For one the optics are going to distort things, for two, taking a cue from that black patch on the tree, the angle change in the three photos is more like 30º-40º at most and three, the photos are only about 30º-40º off the line of fall of the tree so you can't say diddly about the lean that Carl was fighting. You would have to see a photo of the whole tree from 90º to the fall line. Whether Carl's method of calculating the lean is 100% correct - for the purpose of this post - who care's.
In addition to your other policing roles on this site, if you want to now police exaggeration then there's about 3/4 of the posts on this site you need to get working on.
I do agree with you on one point though, it would be a remarkable coincidence if they were all leaning the same way.
As I said truly remarkable
never seen it before
cheers

I do not post much on this section of the forum. Just read a bit here and there. There is always going to be people who agreed with you and people that do not agree. That said having someone upset you so much that you no longer post, to whos advantage is that?
