Could probably just ask Burnam this but thought that I would just put it out there, AND I'm not trying to start any arguments on which technique is better, but does the Forestry Service teach the Humboldt cut, or Open Face Notch cut?
I saw in B's old post that Dent taught fallers the Open Face Notch and was wondering about that? Also, how is timber scaled over on the west coast? Here on the east coast, it's measured on the shorter end, so there is really no need to try and save wood on the butt end with a Humbolt cut.
Is the open face notch really easier to learn than the Humboldt cut?
