I dont have any pics, but we were up in Ohio this past weekend on a hunting trip and they were logging part of the property we hunt on. i was looking at some of the stumps and butt cuts and was a little confused. it appears they are using a short bar because they were cutting from two sides most of the time. It looked as if they were using a normal notch on the face. But the hinge did not go across the stump. It was if they left a post on one side only. i understand the concept of boreing out the center which leaves a post on each side that acts like a hinge, but this was not the case it was only on one side??? The group of loggers was select cutting not clear cutting. Mostly walnut, popular and other large trees. The face cuts where very shallow with most looking like a dutchman??? Did they cut like this to prevent splitting the tree or the swing ot roll it through standing timber? Could some one with some more expierance give me some insite on this? Thanks for the help! I live in NC and i dont see many trees cut like this. It was every tree they cut?
