Limb and Measure Logs

What happens here

Using a chainsaw, remove all remaining branches from the fallen tree trunk. Once limbed, measure the trunk using a measuring tape. The narrator explains he measures segments of 8 feet and adds an extra 3 inches to account for wood shrinkage during drying, marking these cut points with a small stick or spray paint. This method ensures that after drying, the lumber will still be full length. The specific tree being processed is identified as red oak.

Goal: Prepare tree trunks for bucking by removing branches and marking precise lengths for lumber.
