OPERATION
CUTTING SPRINGPOLES
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other
wood so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted
stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to
separate the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they are dangerous.
