Pine Trunk in a Tight Squeeze

1 year ago

Precision drop of a tall pine spar with wedges against a slight back-lean into an extremely narrow drop window about 2 feet wide.

On the right I had electric fence rails and on the left there were several stumps which if it struck would deflect the spar off target to the right or left depending on which side it struck. Straight onto it could cause a uncontrolled bounce.

So my window was the far right edge of my landing pole which was a piece of a another pine laid across the narrow strip. Some watching may think I wanted to hit it dead center but I did not. Dead center would have put it on top of those stumps. I could have cut them lower but I knew I could miss them and slip it right in between the stumps and the fence rails to the right.
