Underbucking

Axe handle being used to support an underbuck cut

Underbucking is a type of log bucking where the cuts are made upwards from the lower side of a suspended log. It is the opposite of overbucking, cutting from the top side down.[1] The tool supporting a saw in such a cut is known as the "underbuck".
