I do, but I don't know why.
I sold 100 cords last year bud- no weekend warrior here so nice try. I have many requests for 16" wood and since I care if all the pieces I deliver fit in a customers stove, I take a little time to make sure it's all cut to the same size. This is something I do on top a full time job so time is crucial but it just doesn't take that much damn time. I also haven't gotten any owes either.If I only cut on weekends every other month or whatever, then maybe, and I mean maybe, I would mark them out. I sell around a 100 full cord every winter. No way in God's creation I am going to take all that extra time.
I think I am okay running something as dangerous as a chainsaw. Over 40 years experience running one, no owies.
But I can see how a weekend warrior should just slow everything way the heck down, would hate to see ya get hurt cuz you didn't take the time to mark out your piece of wood!

Tip of my thumb to tip of my pinky finger is 9" two hands lengths is what I cut mine to.
I do on the big stuff I just lay a tape measure locked at about 18 inches on top of the log. I cut them at 16 or 15.5 and move down the log. I eye ball the smaller stuff and get close enough.
