When you back cut how important is the height relating to your face cut? If you leave a hinge say 4" tall as apposed to a 2" tall hinge. Sometimes my 2" turns into a 4" by mistake or a sloppy cut. Is this dangerous or does it not really matter as long as you have a hinge that is a proper depth into the tree? My main concern is safety not how good my hinge looks afterwards. Thanks in advance guys.:msp_smile:
