Im not shure what you mean??

 

I notice you cut the buttresses before the fell. Although in this case I see you didnt cut much width off the actual hinge, it can reduce the amount of holding wood.

 

My point is, the outer extremities of the hinge are the most crutial when relying on a hinge, and if bottling a stem over, this is usually due to a bad lean or back lean on a stem, therefore the widest hinge is preferred.

 

Not meant as a criticism, just a point I noticed. I know some folk always cut toes off, sometimes just out of habit, and obviously the times when there's not a big enough saw to hand.

fair point there. If we had a bigger saw we might have left them but there we go,
