I see, I was just thinking if someone used a slicker wedge on an already back leaning tree and beat to hard that therewould be slight potential to lift off the hinge and fail backwards. Maybe I give my wedge driving guns to much credit:D
I tend to side with you Jed in thinking the the Humboldt keeps the slant cut below the hinge at all time whereas the conventional has the slanted cut above the hinge/stump shot for most of the fall.
Justin, I still do most of my back cuts level or up just a little. in residential, I find that i'm rarely falling "through" something so with an "open" face cut I just haven't had one come back over the stump:drink:
