Practical Life
In the 1800s, two men with a crosscut saw took 1-2 weeks to fell a single old-growth redwood (10-20 feet diameter). Modern chainsaws can fell a large redwood in hours, but the planning, rigging, and processing still takes days.
Stages
Undercut (Historical) 3 days
3 days — cutting the wedge-shaped notch that determines fall direction
Back Cut 5 days
5 days — sawing through 10-20 feet of heartwood from the opposite side
Felling 0 hours
Seconds — the tree falls, shaking the ground for miles
Bucking & Processing 1 week
1 week — cutting into manageable logs for transport
For perspective...
That's about 1 weeks. Start today and you'd be done by May 18.
