    You can use an axe stuck into the log. Small notches in the handle guide the crosscut.

    Yeah, it's a bit more complicated than most would think. The sharpening of a crosscut saw is an "art" and WAY more complicated than a chainsaw. I'll try to do another post with crosscut stuff so I don't derail this one.

    BTW, when teaching new sawyers...think "new" it has been my experience (with the open face undercut) that the sloping cut first is quicker for them to learn.
