The other day, we were removing a boxelder that was leaning really had to the side. We wanted to drop it at 90 degrees to the lean. It got me thinking about how to place the face cut. How do you guys do it? Do you make the face cut parallel to the ground or perpendicular to the tree stem. I will attach a pic with the two options. I am also talking about just the stem. For the purpose of this discussion, lets not factor in any canopy.
