What is more important, is it a) to cut the scion/rootstock in one stroke so as to get a nice levelled plane or b) cut the *same* length atleast 1" on both the scion and rootstock? The reason I ask is, sometimes, the scionwood is so hard and difficult to work with that i end up making a nice sloping smooth cut in one stroke but it'll be shorter than the rootstock's. By then, I"ll have so little left of the scionwood that *if* I wanted the cut length equal to the rootstock's cut, I'll have no choice but whittle it to "extend" the cut a bit more and end up risk ruining the smooth but shorter levelled plane of the initial cut.
Thanks for the video, lots of good information explained easily.
