[QUOTE="KiwiBro, post: 6635204, member: 33374"] It really helped me to think about the log as fibres under either tension or compression, and trying to either avoid the compression wood or decide how much of it can be cut first, while the rest of the log will support it from closing, then cut the tension wood and you may find with enough of the initial compression wood out of the way from the first cuts, what's left of what started out as compression wood becomes under tension as your cut progresses. A bit tricky to describe but watch some youtube videos of big logs being bucked on sketchy hillsides and you'll see what I mean. [/QUOTE]
