Finished with the "Ocotopus" tree and went to fall the next victim. Talking compass direction, it wanted to fall NNW at about 355 degrees. I wanted it about due north. Figured aim the notch due north and do an "angled holding wood" back cut with the thick part of the holding wood to the East. End result? It fell at abour 350 degrees. Examination of cut showed why, I had put the thick holding wood at the west.
Probably due to fatigue. I had my head in a very dark spot by the time I made the back cut. Stump was over 4' and I had a lot of trouble getting my undercuts to meet.
Not sure yet whether where it is isn't better than where I wanted it. Gonna have to pull some sections back across the ditch again.
