I am often asked how to cut blanks from crotches.
The way I do it is to employ a low tech custom made " log processing station"
This is a log section with a notch. The notch needs to hold the crotch.
I set the crotch in the notch so that the centers of the two centers on one end are aligned vertically.
I make a mark top center over the centers and make a ripping vertically though the centers of all three y sections of the crotch.
The photos show
