I've been sick for a week and very bored unable to do much for work other than service saws. On FB this show come up , couple good old boys from Missouri running Stihls who are nice enough that log hardwoods on easy ground that's more than nice enough (quite a bit of Wanut plus). Anywho , what they call bore cuts is something I've never ever seen. Seems they bore in going all the way through , in the direction of the desired lay removing about 80% leaving two strips on the outsides about 10% each. Back the skidder to it and get a little push on it. Finale is angle cutting both strips right through to the first cut (on real bigs it's a few cuts) leaving NO HINGE. Doesn't seem at all right or safe to me but seems to work for them I guess. Has anyone ever seen or done this ? Signed , "bewildered in Vermont" ... PS , no hard hats , hearing protection , or chaps ... don't seem to use Wedges except rare occasions.
