Stig,
how do you recommend cutting a conventional or open face when the bar is shorter than the hinge?
This is a co-dom white oak that we had to rip the crotch down to about 3' height to get the first lead down..
Notch was cut clean, but it wasn't pretty getting there....
Ended up bisecting the notch, working it from both sides.. wondering if you (or anyone else) would do the same, or if there is a better way, and how you cut if the notch is only a few inches longer than the bar..
NOTE: the vertical kerf cut on the close up is left over from ripping the crotch
Thanks.
