I’ve seen AH do that cut before. It’s not a true coos bay imho due to the fact that he does an undercut. It seems to have the same results?

I will put a small kerf to prevent potential bark tearing, then Coos Bay long limbs, with a push on the butt away from the trunk to get a bit more clearance from an obstacle,
To be more clear, the undercut kerf is Not lined up with the Coos Bay style cut. I put it inward.Didn't watch the video.

Tip landing would more likely end up with the butt on the rear side of the butt, possibly hitting a structure, etc.
That makes a lot of sense. You’re doing a similar thing to sap/side cuts when dropping vertical pieces. That’s smart.To be more clear, the undercut kerf is Not lined up with the Coos Bay style cut. I put it inward.
Hardwoods don't allow the same good positioning relative to the butt of the cut as conifers commonly can.
The limb it like it looked like AH was dealing with in the vid, and limbs I had in mind from past experience, are totally unpushable, they are far too heavy to push and they are gone from the cut too quickly.
*raises hand*I get that all the time
You ever get a BC so bad, so huge, so high that it's a real problem to get it down because it is a giant booby trap, even with a skidder? Sorry to say I have. Managed to live thu it. Probably before I knew of bore cuts.
yeah, I would have gone almost twice as deep but I wasnt the one cutting, fairly sure I said something about it too but its been a whileLittle wonder that one chaired on you. Face was way too shallow, I think.
Hindsight/after-action review is always easier for making criticisms .
the thinking wasnt really there TBHShallow face and pulling as well, with that lean? What was the thinking for that technique?
Maybe a lot of limb weight counter to the lean?
I got a real good idea what they can do, mainly for me its a backup and keeping a kerf openor are you like many arbs, rather inexperienced with what they can be used to accomplish?
