I was trimming some trees in my own yard this weekend (a silver maple and a black locust)and was attempting to use the 3 cut method, but I must have done something wrong, hence...why I'm asking for some guidance. I made the undercut about a foot up the branch from where I intended to make my final cut to prevent peeling, and I came back about 4-5"s from that to make my pass through cut. Now where I think I got mixed up was not making the cut farther out on the branch as opposed to closer. I still ended up peeling a little back..I feel like a bozo now knowing some of my neighbors know I trim trees on the side and my own trees look like crap.
Oh well..gotta learn the right way by doing the wrong way a few times I guess..LOL
