The eyeball trick works if you have a plumb line to help you actually see what's level a loosely held ax does a wonderful job. That way you have a vertical reference point, and trunk lean, hills, etc are easily noticed. You have to supply enough force to torque the tree over, and so the higher...

The wood fibers run vertically, and since you can look straight down and see nothing but saw cut, you can see you completely cut the hinge off. If you use stump shot on anything, you need to take in account of the material being undercut below you. You basically turned your notch into a snap...
