One thing you could do next time is cut in from each of the four sides leaving a four by four in the center uncut. Then scope out which side the pinch is going to occur on. Cut another kerf there. Then zip the four by four at max rpm.
The block should then roll free. I do this fairly often bucking logs for horses.

In true end bind there is no settling or releasing of the pressure on one side of the log.
The whole cylinder is compressed. If you cut much you will run into it fairly often.

It refused to spread. Just went down poomf. Here's a picture of it yesterday. Yesterday it was more cooperative. I couldn't cut straight though, not even with the Barbie Saw. I think a laser guide would be a good thing for me.
I would like some Doug fir soap also. Just don't make it like they did in that movie Fight Club please. I turned off the movie right there. Ick.

Looks like a nice sawlog. Could you just do a salami cut after starting two wedges in the top?It refused to spread. Just went down poomf. Here's a picture of it yesterday.

couldn't you have cut down from the top the depth of the bar and then cut up from the bottom to avoid the pinch?
That's what I did. The saw didn't get pinched, well much, but the log would not come apart. I needed a choker or a peavey. I did not have either.
Would that be just going down from the top? I'm not familiar with the terminology.
Part of that tree is in my woodpile as of yesterday. Can't do sawlogs with those so they go for firewood. Sometimes not even that.

I havent seen the movie and dont want to know any details. The soap trials will be made with glycerin soap from hobby store with parts of Douglas fir tree Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii .
Yup shes even a sweet heart I do have it made.You got it made...a wife who can cook, run saw, and smells like Doug Fir....man it just doesn't get any better than that.

I like glycerin soap too.
It is much better than regular alkaline bath soap.
I have gone in places after cutting doug fir and had women come up and sniff me just to smell it.

I'm pretty sure that the smell of Doug Fir on a woodchopper makes a women get her period. Maybe it's just the sweat/fir combo, I don't know, but hairy arm pitted women have told me it's so. And why would I argue?

Lol I don't know I was talking about cute waitresses and bar maids!
I have very limited experience with hairy arm pit women.

The sexiest hairy armpitted women seem to be from Calif, Quebec or Russia.
I think that's where most of the Fir is grown.
