Yeah I have pretty much almost no experience bucking 'big wood' in logging conditions(80"+ diameter) it was just a thought. Thanks for clearing that up. I learn something new every day!
I think to do it the way I just mentioned you'd have to wedge the log from both sides in order to prevent the pinch. You could probably bore 2/3rds from the top down all the way through the bottom and release the fibers on the top by cutting on either side of the original bored kerf? Kind of...
Why not notch the top and undercut it? Or bore from 2/3rds topside down and release with a light top cut? (Maybe wedge from two sides before coming back over the top?) Forgive me if this sounds unsafe, which is why I phrased it metaphorically
