The top of this huge maple was leaning over my cottage, and a hurricane was coming; so the time for tree-hugger procrastination was done. (Previously the large branch in the background had come down.) This face-cut looks strange/incomplete; but the tree eventually fell directly away from the camera location after the back-cut was put in, exactly where it was supposed to go, by allowing for the unbalanced weight aloft. (Note: I have cut down trees this size or bigger, but not when my error could land it on my house. So I hired a guy with an insurance certificate.)
