If a tree under 10" it's barber chairing you're doing something seriously wrong.

 

A sharp saw and conventional cut should do it no trouble.

Possibly a wee bit harsh.

Surely it will depend on the tree type and how bad the lean and wot sort of pressure on the lean too (lot of branch pressure that way) and even time off year

 

I've had a few in the smaller size range chair over the years, more so than larger trees.

Must admit i've never seen the 'finn' cut before but i usually just stick an oversized 'gub' into the smaller ones

I don't think it's harsh. Even a top handle could drop a leaner safely if it was sharp. Say a 3" face cut would leave 6" worth of gob. Nibble the ears away and your good to go

Not sure that can be true, otherwise Mike would not have posted that excellent video earlier.

No, thats when it hits you in the face and knocks your teeth out.

Most of the pictures I've seen of barbered trees, the gobs are far to small, imo, this is like having no gob.

 

Agree with this....that's caught me out on a couple of occasions...despite executing the standard dog tooth cut I have left hinge just to fat as gob was too small which resulted with a couple of hair raising moments!
