Come along as I thin the red pine plantation using row thinning techniques. Check out the struggles and challenges of thinning a previously untouched red pine plantation in a dense 35 year old stand.

Would love to see a follow up video on this and what the stand looks like now. I am thinking you would have thinned this a bit earlier in a perfet scenario, right? Not a criticism. Thanks for the videos.

I totally retract all the pedantic forestry advice I will give you two years from now. You obviously know way more about it than I do :)

What is the average dbh within your stand? What red pine dbh is preferred for cutting for lumber and posts?

@sawingwithsandy Год назад

Hi Eric, I haven't measured recently but Im likely around 8" dbh average. I'm not sure what the mills prefer around here for dbh as I haven't checked. I"m just doing the thinning process now

I find it easier to make my downward notch cut first, I can get the saw cuts to line up perfectly by looking down the open kerf. I also make a very shallow notch then put a wedge behind my bar as I make the rear cut. That way the tree never rocks back and pinches the bar. You limb and buck the trees on the landing?

@sawingwithsandy 4 года назад

I agree with the wedge on behind my saw when back cutting. I have trouble sometime because the trees are so small there’s no room for a wedge but other than that it works great. I normally Lomb the tree where it lands but with some of these red pines having such small branches I just skidded them in tack and limbed at the landing. Thanks for watching Ross and the good tips
