Guys I've been a Certified Utility Arborist for 31 years and I've seen a lot. I understand the primeval instinct to to have a go at it. My advice, hire a professional, it's not worth dying. There are so many things that can kill you with tree falling I can't count them.

Appears that the face cut was done improperly, without a clean kerf. Notice how the tree moved and then stopped. Probably an overcut in the kerf closed up and held the tree from going on over right away.

Omg. Thank you. I've been watching a lot of tree felling videos recently and come across the term "barber chair" quite a lot and had no idea what it meant. And any ideas I tried to visualise, nothing was even close to this. Can't believe that thin strip held the weight of the tree for so long.

Ash is prone to barber-chair and sometimes violently ... IF you happen to be directly behind it when it goes you might be leaving this mortal coil. Fortunately this was a “slow-burn” Barberchair and no one was injured 🤕. A chain or heavy strap affixed above the felling cut is an effective option ... It won’t stop the tree from splitting up the center but it will “contain” the potential for injury. A lot of these ash are dead from EAB infestation and the center of the tree is hollowed-out. A plunge cut is of little use in this situation as there is simply NO wood to plunge cut! Thanks for watching

Not really. Depends on the type of tree. I've cut hundreds of burned oak trees due to a huge wild fire and got sick of doing face cuts so I tried going for it. Haven't seen anything even close to what happened in this video. On trees as large a diameter as this one in the video.

Something’s not ok on that face cut. I would have liked to see both cuts actually, that doesn’t look like a hard leaner from this angle. Did you use a bore cut? I use a bore cut for most of my trees unless they are perfectly straight which they rarely are. It’s worth investing in a saw with a longer bar.

Looks like a deliberate attempt to create a barber chair. If there was a notch, the backcut was higher than the notch, which increases the chance of barber chair. If deliberate there was likely a cable in the tree to finish putting it on the ground.

Looks like this was done on purpose to make a video.. good example however of what can happen with improper techniques, appeared that the face cut was too narrow and closed before the tree was committed to the fall.. they can also fly up like that and then jump off to the side and land on the cutter, thus the danger.

I'd say a face cut was there, but it was way too shallow. The tree started going, then closed the gap and it stopped putting tremendously pressure on the backside, hence the barberchair. JMHO

@@MerleUnchained Yes ... the 4th “generational logger” who commented here about the need using “heavy equipment” was sadly mistaken ... Ash is prone to barber-chair when leaning in the direction of fall , especially if they grow with the canopy also in that direction - just so much weight that the timber shears like you see here ... A possible solution is a bore-cut , however when the inside is rotted out this becomes a non-option ... When doing possibly compromised leaners (and especially ash) a heavy-duty ratchet strap or chain is affixed above the cutting such that IF the tree does bbc it will be held together and other methods employed to getr done ...

Sometimes happens even for professionals. Ash tree is very likely to barberchair because of its grain. I've barberchaired an alder two weeks ago, because I left too much hingewood, which caused the same thing like here. Same situation, a wee more cut would get this done easily.

It's so annoying that this is even possible... much more enjoyment could be had doing tree work if you didn't have to factor in the possibility of this happening. You either take the chance that a crispy tree or infamous species (looking at you, Ash) does this, or you have to do a cut that I don't think anybody is 100% comfortable doing (the bore cut) to prevent it. Ugh.
