You mean the difference between a proper blockcut and chunking out 'cause your cuts didn't match?

I think you've confused the terminology. A block face has a gap at the back of the face and the front of the holding wood.

The back of a face cut traditionally ends in a pinch - gets the tree off the stump quicker.

Gap face keeps the tree on the stump longer and allows the holding wood more flex.

Sorry I don't have pics, but I got to employ the dutchman on three trees today, I think that is a record for one day. Swung one of them maybe 190° from its mild lean. I'd have gone the short way around but that would have hung it up in a leave tree for sure. A neighbor had come over to watch and he was so impressed he was giddy. Said I was using "witchcraft" and "voodoo" and "scorcery" I told him I had tried all three but the trees only respect wood nomes, forest fairies, and the whisper of the wind.

The only way I could turn a tree 190 degrees would be if there was something really expensive 190 degrees from the tree's natural lean, which could not possibly be hit ever, in a million years. Good job doing it intentionally

Your probably right on thinking about it terminology are different in different locations but I get fully what you described :msp_thumbup:

Must be a Texas thing.
