Most chainsaw operators make their falling cuts under the butt log horizontally, and that makes for pretty stumps, but if cuts from opposite sides of the stump don't meet you create bypassed wood on the bottom of the log. Most fallers don't give bypasses a second thought, but these things can become wooden bullets in the sawmill when a circular headsaw passes through. Mr. J Jones, the faller in these videos demonstrates how he avoids unguided missiles in his sawmill; he simply angles down slightly with his chainsaw as he makes his falling cuts so his opposing cuts meet. Neat!
Smooth! Thank you Jason for the demonstration!
