Northern Kentucky Project: Advanced Cuts - Steering the Tree

This short video goes over some of the process of steering a tree as it’s falling. This is an advanced technique and should be done with all due caution. This is one of those techniques that are dangerous even when you are experienced. Included are some links to a Reddit post talking about the subject a little, and another video they have linked to an arborist also making this cut and videoing the process with a better setup of camera then I currently have.

Enjoy this video made by another professional tree cutter. All three of his tree cuts are a sight to behold for someone who is not familiar with the dangers involved with tree cutting.
