Gentlemen: I apologize in advance to the East-Coast fellow who protested to some earlier post that I had made, in which I had listed a few "Faller Pro Types" who regularly contribute to this site, and all of them happened to be PNW folks. Gentlemen, this omission was due solely to ignorance I assure you. I happen to live in the PNW, and so, am only familiar with the people, and trees, and customs, and methods endemic to the Pacific North West. My silence on the Eastern and European Broad-Limb Experts was not intentional, and I beg your pardon.
So here is my quick question as promised: If you guys miss a lay, do you tend to miss it on the side that you cut from? Weirdest thing, and I swear that this is not due to Beranak's "Parallax-Error"; yes, I know what that is, and I swear that I am mindful of it, and take many pains to counteract it. What I mean is that no matter which side of the tree I cut from--i.e. "natural" (From the right-hand side of the tree, for a right-hander--back-cut made with the saw held by the full-wrap.), or else, "goofy" (From the left side of the tree for a right-hander--back-cut made with the saw held by the half-wrap.)--I always, if I miss, tend to miss on the side that I cut from. Do you guys ever notice the same thing? Yes, my bar-posts are very old. Yes my gunning sights read slightly differently depending on whether the saw is held "regular" or "goofy" (upside-down). Yes, I have found Willard's T-square trick to be invaluable, though I don't always use it cause I'm too lazy to get it out of the truck, or else, don't have it, becaused I'm forced into a different truck almost every other day. Anyway, have you guys noticed this?
