Not what I was thinking. I was once told to make the cuts in the pic below, on a tree such as a hickory. They are very shallow on each side under the hinge, maybe 1 inch deep. I thought it was so the top broke off easier? Or was I just wasting time/doing something stupid?

What's a "snipe"?

If you continue to cut through the hinge while its going over you will get less and less wobble. When the hinge is in tact it's wanting to push the tree the opposite way of the fall. Thats what I've heard at least.
