Are we betting? $50 on Willie.

Scott, your fuller description makes interesting sense. Having the cuts match up above and below (plunge and back cut), all you then need is a vertical break to get the tree falling, where leaving more holding wood with a conventional cut may entail greater resistance and pull. Nice concept.

I don't quite follow how the plunge for the hinge then a higher back cut works. I get the delayed release part, but why the two steps for the back cut? The fiber runout from the higher back when it breaks, is down to the plunge kerf? What is the advantage over just having more holding wood?
