Stress cuts

 Whoa... I learnt something new in class tonight.  Stress cuts!

Tom talked about how he creates a stress cut first in everything he does.  When I asked him why he explained that with the first cut you can get a feel for the grain and get an idea of what the rākau might do once you go deeper.  He also said it takes the stress out of the wood - makes sense to me.
