A cut made diagonally cutting straight through so that the wood falls butt first. Obviously need to be careful of not being hit by the tip ( or at least be prepared to) or not to do to big for reasons such us barber chairs or it turning into a rip cut. but is a good cut in the right circumstances

Its also called a salami cut, or a pepperoni. A small undercut in the same line as the top cut can be made prior, if you are worried about a tear.... Just make sure the cuts meet up.

With the rip cut just make a cut where you don't want the tear going past and that should stop a total rip down.

 

Also letting the bark take the load as the branch bends over saves your shoulders and elbows allot if you cut and chuck, the gob cut leaves little time to safely grab the branch.

 

Nice to see others use it not just me an my yeehaa ways :biggrin:

Ooh look at you getting all professional! Much cleaner work. One piece of advice when cutting conifer, (or willow, poplar etc) to stop it tearing at the hinge, put to ears on either side just underneath the gob. This will prevent it.
