How to Make a Humboldt Undercut Felling Notch

I demonstrate how I do a West Coast style
Humboldt undercut felling notch. The Humboldt undercut is a type of face cut for falling trees. With this style of cutting trees down, it takes the notch out of the stump instead of the usable log. This can result in less wasted wood. Loggers on the West Coast commonly use the Humboldt.

I am using a Stihl MS462 with a 32 inch bar and square filed full skip chain. The logs will be put on my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. The lumber from it will possibly be used to build a small off grid cabin.
