Beaver style felling technique. I think either Jerry or Burnham described the methodology in their literature.

I haven’t read that whole thread yet but for anyone else coming along learning in the future, tree_being has a video on her Patreon that explains what she calls the tracing method that Burnham described.

Yeah the tracing technique is my go to for most cutting and can be pretty accurate as long as you visualize where you set that far corner. I’ll look at the diameter and I also watch my gunning sight for where the tip is. Works pretty good and it’s quick. Sometimes the corners can be off if you have cut a bit much. If I need to hit a super tight shot I’ll do the bore face technique so I can pay attention to the first corner I set and then use the established side to finish cutting the other side while being able to watch the bar and tip so no over cutting or Dutchmen’s are made. This new job I’m going to has to be perfect undercuts. Big wood and tight shots. I’m going to have to reel it in just a bit and slow down to make sure it’s perfect.

By the way, has anyone spoke with Gerry lately? I’ve been meaning to give him jingle.

I think Mrs B said he's busy with projects but he's in the hood.
