Imagine a Y shaped crotch. I'm sure that it's going to have some neat features but have run into a small problem. How to cut down the middle so to kind of form 2 Y Y's when finished with the cut. OK, dazzle me with your brilliance.

Moyo Set the crotch piece in a buck and cut it with the chain saw. Take a look at my web page under cutting crotch wood.

I have recently made a number of pieces out of crotch wood - where I cut off the Y's at the point of intersection and used the bottom of the Y as the base of my piece. Then I cut the piece off at the point where the tree's crotch begins to split and knit together.
I turn the whole piece in the form of a V shape with the top of the piece hitting clost to the point where the crotch begins to kint together. This puts a really neat figure onto the item - on 2 sides you have a U design happening and on the other 2 sides you have an upside down U happening. If you cut the piece right, you will have a flame at the bottom and a really cool flame figure across the top of the piece.
In a few weeks I will have an update on my website that will show exactly what I am writing about. Expierment with it and see what comes out - at least challenge yourself to do something new or out of the ordinary with the wood.

This is in the "hard to believe but true" category. When the Huskevarna chain saws first appeared in Canada and I assume the rest of North America, they had a warning sticker that read "Do not stop moving chain with hand or testicles." Boggles the mind does it not? I hear the warning stickers were in high demand.
