A few shots of the swedish cut

i love it for chogging down big bits, even smaller diameter stuff, changes the center of gravity of the piece making, gives the piece direction being a flat surface rather than 2 round surfaces rolling on eachother, and varing the degree of the gob helps landing the pieces flat preventing diviots in the lawn

Heres the video of mine i think Ian got it from, hope you dont mind adding it to your thread Ian

 

chogging starts at 5.40

I could see it being of some help on very large chunks, but don't think it was really needed on the size of timber in the vid.

 

Even then, on large chunks I tend to do a very small step, (aided by a wedge), and then break the step, settle the chunk on the butt, and then work it off in the intended direction, giving it the appropriate amount of push to aid landing flat as it goes.

There is a difference Josh. Ian's cut (which i also use ) undercuts the face cut, allowing the piece to go of it's own accord if it can & makes sure the saw does not get pulled.

Same principal

Thats the vid, yeah the only subtle differences i do is a humbolt gob and the step cut underneath but basically the same cut.

Liked it and a new one for me.

 

 

It does look useful for smaller chogs as it seems like it's easier to push over and snap...
