Why you're leaving that step half way in the face cut? Is that to get it higher up the hill?

@BjarneButler

2 жыл бұрын

No I make a steep bottom cut then bore in from the front and cut that piece out then I can see how my cuts line up to one another. Then I can make any corrections if needed and continue cutting at a shallower opening. So it’s not that the second half of the cut is too narrow but it’s the first half that’s extra wide. It also helps in the very big trees because I can then fit my power head inside the cut to reach the middle

Standard practice it west. Keep stumps low and you have serious control over the hinge wood. Keeps the butt square which is better for lumber production and it's one less cut overall as compared to a face cut in the opposite direction. I think it goes back to when they were felling the giant sequoia trees with axes. Although I've seen pictures of guys standing in the opposite. face cut. I can't remember the names of the cuts offhand. I know one is a Humboldt
