[QUOTE="CityUF, post: 55352, member: 3004"] I like the plunge cut... It prevents barber chair by cutting the part of the tree that splits. Just today I dropped a 18" black locust with about 40% decay at DBH and again at ~20' of 52' total height. I cut an open face notch then plunge cut leaving a 1.5-2" hinge with a 3" back strap. Then I cut the strap gently and it fell nicely. The plunge would not of worked at the decay point but above and below it does the job. Husquvarna Game of Logging and Arbor Master both recommend the open face notch and plunge cuts. [/QUOTE]
