I find that my felling wedges tend to be tipped rather than level. Is there a line that will help me hold the saw level for the lower part of the wedge cut?
The pro series Huskies (and brand X) have a black line on the rewind housing and cylinder cover. This is to give the operator a guide when felling as the line should be parallel to the intended path when making the cuts. Remember, it is a guide and there are no guarantees.
As for making the back cut level. I hold my saw by the top handle. The key word there is hold, not grab. I let the saw balance itself and that gives me a reference line in which to make the back cut. I found its quick, easy and gravity never lies no matter what ghillside you are on.
I don't trust using the bottom of the front handle. I've had saws that had this handle sitting at an angle. If your particular saw has this handle set at a right angle, then it can be used. I don't trust it myself though.
Do you hear, Jeff!
Jokers,I never had even heard of the term gunning sticks. You just taught me something.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Jeff and you have a little disagreement on bar lengths......
And yes Deadwood, SawTroll and I go back and forth on bar length and full wrap handles. But it's certainly all friendly banter and well intended. Right SawTroll?
