My thinking is a vertical bar is starting the split. You put a shallow face in, do a vertical bore behind it, then when you start your backcut, it seems to me the tree would be encouraged to split when you hit the vertical bore. Am I thinking wrong?

Glad you asked. I was pondering that myself. edit: I was especially wondering about the vertical bore. Seems like that would tend to setup a barberchair.
