12. Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure your footing is
firm and your weight is evenly distributed on both feet. When possible, the log
should be raised and supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks.
1. Follow the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported
along its entire length (Fig. 37), it is cut from the top (overbuck).

2. When the log is supported on one end (Fig. 38), cut 1/3 the diameter from
the underside (underbuck). Then make the finished cut by overbucking to
meet the first cut.

3. When the log is supported on both ends (Fig. 39), cut 1/3 the diameter from
the top (overbuck). Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower
2/3 to meet the first cut.
