You’re doing a fantastic job of “sounding” like a pro. I’ve dropped several thousand trees in my career, and actually learned from Jerry Beranek...
That’s a nice looking stump. Go back and look at my first picture and tell me how I should have left the compression side of the hinge skinny...
You think I should have made the hinge smaller on the compression side? Really?
White oak will stand up to the weather much better.
Rang the bell the other day. I will likely do it again before the fundraiser ends. Dallas is as good as they come. A good friend that I wish I got...

I agree a log lift is a must. I think you could get into one of the lower end split fires for your intended budget. They do have a new vertical...
