'H' Cut?

[Philbert]

Saw a reference to using an 'H' cut with a chainsaw while limbing and bucking. I could try and guess what this means, but Google failed me, and I was hoping that one of you distinguished saw gurus could explain it? Might be related to safe cutting practices?

Thanks.

Not a guru, but saw it on YouTube

Not sure if that's it, but maybe a variation

This is the only video I've seen use it. Pretty neat.

Interesting.

I think that they might be referring to a Game of Logging (GOL) technique?
I guess that someone might see limbing on both sides and the top of a log as an 'H', but I have never heard that term or description used.

So that is why all of the old pro saws that I get have half the paint beat off of them...
