      Superb little book!

      I did my crosscutting and felling tickets 3 yrs ago so am still very much a novice, and often refer to my course notes before approaching a new "different" situation. But this very handy sized, exceptionally clear written and super well illustrated little book is sooo much better.

      Most definitely recommend to anyone going for their tickets, or already got them like me.

      Could be a life saver.

      (The Chainsaw Maintenance book is similarly brilliant)

      I am a novice chainsaw user, have bought myself a vintage Stihl 026 Pro & wanted to start out the right way. The chainsaw manual ‘cross cutting’, is an excellent guide. Packed with information, text & pictures, makes it very easy to follow.
