Gone? Did he pass on? Strange wedge positioning off to the side.

When I'm in doubt about a hinge's reliability compared to what I'm asking of it, I cut the bark off. Its good to see if the wood is bending at the hinge or splitting down the stump (never noticed it splitting up the hinge) when wedging.

What is the thought on how a high back-cut can sap the effects of wedging? Is it the energy that is required to split the vertical grain of the hinge?
