Slightly elaborating..... Because no face apex abruptly closes to bust the fibers, the tree stays attached to the stump longer during it's falling route. I would think a thicker hinge via stopping cutting as the tree begins to fall over, would further add to that.
Perhaps it needn't be said, but I believe that block out faces are often used with a snipe off the lip of the face. I believe it is often a integral factor with larger trees. Snipe wasn't mentioned, so I bring it up. Guys working in the west coast woods that Jerry shows, seem very adept at...
Isn't how you describe it, basically the same way that other people use it? I can't remember offhand, the book is at the shop, but 'Fundamantals' has a least one great picture of that type face that I can recall, quite possible a number of them.
