Murphy, when I said working off the face in the bush, I didn't mean "face of the tree" Haha. Logging a block of timber (also called a strip) we cut a "face" along our boundary line working it back leaving a clear cut area. That straight border of standing timber is the "face" that you fall...
Yep gunsighting that face cut in for for a single fell in a day in someone's backyard is crucial taking all the time you need.
But repetitive quick felling cuts felling off a face in the bush you don't even take time to even bother sighting in with the saws sights.
Just momentum lays those...
I like to call the 90° or greater open face cut a arborist notch.
Way too slow to make that long slow cutting diagonal cut when logging or cutting ROW for production.
