whole 'nother matter.


It depends a bit on the size of the blocks. If they are small enough
that you can get through them with a cut from each side on the TS you
may be OK, but fully buried cuts are particularly dangerous in full
rounds because of the tensions in the wood. I'll just leave at the
statement that *I* wouldn't do it.
