Chewed up and spit out! (Chopping content)

When chopping a piece of wood, you want to visualize a V-shaped notch that is as wide at the top as the wood is deep/thick. If you are chopping a 8" log, then you need to be working down from a cut that is 8" wide at the top. That way you get the most efficient chip/chunk clearance. If you use a very narrow cut width, then many of your chop strokes are wasted by not clearing as much wood as they otherwise could.
