Maybe there is a rule of thumb, but the side kerf depth seems a judgement call to me, since that is what is holding up the tree with the Coos Bay.

Stephen, I wasn't meaning to say that it was a Coo's Bay cut in the diagram, only that it resembled it a bit with the center strip left that you cut through from the rear.

:thumbup:

Thanks, Justin. It's interesting to see the description of the "T" cut, I had never seen it before. I guess you could call it basically a Coo's Bay or similar, with some falling directional control. Wonder if it could be said that you are giving up some resistance to barberchair by having a face?

Nicely done educational vid, thanks for posting. Leon. picture no proper face cut and the leaner cut in from both sides of the tree, leaving a strip of wood from the front to the back of the tree aligned to the lean, or call it from the the compression side to the tension side remaining wood...

Haha, actually Gary, i was thinking myself that there is a zen element to it. "Since it is all too clear, it takes time to grasp it". ~ Zen Proverb. I know I've pondered Jerry's description in his book a lot.

The Coos bay cut seems more of what it isn't than what it is. Not a precision thing.

Yessum. Nip enough of it and gravity does the rest.

He must mean the strap, Gary, not sticking the bar too far into it. Page 293 in GB's great book. On the other hand, maybe not. :)

Hi Gypo, welcome here. My name is Jay. Nipping away at the holding strap from outside below until it pops is what I have learned too, don't be socking your saw into the back.
