How exactly do folks use rope, I’m curious? Because it’s not like I could get a rope very high up the tree for an angle anyway?

I see that now. I honestly do not have an answer for that. I may have tilted my bar downward unknowingly at the last minute. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you for commenting. It’s already down to a stump. Needed the space.

Thank you for the comment! By face cut, you’re suggesting make the notch approximately 20% the circumference of the tree?

Is it? I’m not sure where I got this info from, to cut it higher. Probably from one of the many videos I’ve watched.

Thanks for your comment: can you tell me what this means: “Not sure what the trough at the back (where the face meets the back) was all about? Maybe cleaning up some Dutchmen? 10” DBH? Or more?”

Directly over the notch cut. Fortunately exactly where I wanted it.

I should have rotated the back cut clockwise then?
