I was always under the impression that the barber chair was due to tension in the centre of the log.
Species dependent, some are more prone to it than others.
A small face doesn’t address the tension.

A job from London a few of my mates were involved in. Namely the climber. He used to work along side me when he was a beginner. Maybe I taught him a thing or two.
One of the largest tree jobs in London. A couple of years planning. Charles Darwin’s house or Charles Dickens can’t remember...
