This one should be food for thought. The commenters are impressed. Your thoughts?

Tear-limiting undercut near the collar near the base first in case of premature limb failure.
The offset is large enough to prevent interfering with the release cut, I think.

Good cut.


Coos Bay may be less risk of a bound saw compared to boring.

I have been using a jump cut of sorts. Single kerf undercut about a third deep, single kerf cut on the far side but keeping that cut vertical in relation to the undercut about a third deep, single kerf cut on the near side severing the corner, and sweeping down for the release. They pop off nice and clean with the “hinge” fibers in the middle of the cut. I’ve taken some pretty big hardwood limbs that way, basically leaving a nice collar cut.
