Dormant hero!!
One of my competitors mentioned using a "whizzy" in the face cut of a heavy side leaner or a big sweep. I had never heard of this but sounds functional. The way he explained it was to form a Humboldt face, then cut a wedge out of the bottom of the face on the tension side.
Made sense to me as that in effect would be like a gap face on one side forcing the hinge to break on the compression side as the face closed but possibly allowing the tension side to hold a bit longer. Possibly even tearing down the sap wood if it swung far enough. Any of you heard of this or used it?
