To Fell a Tree was written for the professional tree cutter as well as the weekend woodcutter. It’s loaded with practical information that is essential to the safety and success of any tree felling and woodcutting operation, whether it’s in the forest or the backyard. With step-bystep methods and more than 200 illustrations, topics include preparations before the work begins, felling a tree using a three-step procedure, felling difficult trees, and limbing and bucking the tree.

Other topics include: potential work hazards, chain saw safety, personal protective equipment, protecting people and property, felling storm-damaged trees, moving limbs and logs, and methods for splitting and stacking wood.
