well apparently none of you have cut venear logs before so idk LOL I Log everday for a living so for me those are the safest cuts ur not riding a tree out when it blows up on you been there screw that..basical what iam saying is cut the center out first then cut the trigger simple no blowed uped trees or split and it goes were every you want regardles if it is a normal hinge or you us the front of the tree as ur hinge works the same
You do realize you're wasting an awful lot of time with all that poking around. Cut the ####er off the stump if you want to, just face it up and back cut it like a man. The VAST majority of hardwood timber does not need to be bore cut if you have any ####ing clue of what you are doing.
