I was felling some 24-27 diameter trees with the tops ripped off them from IKE 2 years ago. Most were 40-60 feet tall. One was leaning about 10 degrees the way it was going to be dropped anyway. A buddy says you don't even need to notch or face cut that one-- I insisted yes you do or a barber chair could occur.
Am I right??? After seeing a 30 foot barber chair crack and come down behind the back side I face notch everything I fell and have had no problems.
Is there ever a reason not to cut a notch??? We do not worry about wasting firewood- the tringles burn just like the splits.
