So I cheated, and broke out my beater Yarborough/GB Knife to finish the job.

The GB Knife did the trick, but would no longer pop the hair off my arm when complete, so I need to sharpen it before commencing any more cutting demonstrations.

I used my good Y Knife for the photos, but there is nothing wrong with the GB Knife, other than some pine sap/resin on the blade.

This took a little while. I am not a professional logger.

That straight in chopping style ( as opposed to making a wider face angle so the chopping is easier) is common to hand bucking logs with an axe in South America. No connection is there?
