When we cut pulp wood trees that were questionable on where they would fall,
we often used a wedge to assure they went where we wanted them too.  We have
forced some trees to go where they never would have in order to save a good
tree next to them.  We did have two trees do some strange, dangerous things.
One was a dead stand.  It was cut but wouldn't fall so we just walked out of
the woods and waited a day.  The other tree had a lot of built in stresses
and did a 180 degree turn on the stump.  Scared the gee-who out of us and we
walked out of the woods that day too.  (Not enough leaves)

No rope on the tree?


	Last time I was cutting trees I had a maple of about 16" caliper
that fell 180* opposite to the way I notched it to fall.  It was pretty
weird, but taking out the neighbors phone and electric lines sucked. 
Luckily, the utility repair guys were way cool and attributed the break to
"unknown causes".  Never had that happen before.  Still can't figure what I
did wrong.
