Take, for example, a large tree limb being pruned with a chain saw and the diameter of the limb is greater than the bar length. Is it ok to cut from both sides? ie. make a cut on one side then move to the other side to make the complimentary cut. Does it impede wound healing if the cuts don't compliment each other perfectly? i.e. they meet at a bit of an angle creating a slight ridge.
- Must the cut be a single plane or is this not really something to worry about?
- Is the cutting pattern described acceptable or should a different cutting pattern be used?
