Perhaps I asked the wrong way.

I need to bend a branch on stiff wood. So I thought of cutting a notch on
the under part of the branch, and a bit further out, on the top of the
branch, such that I never cut all the way (360 degrees) around the branch
at any point (even though the total cut between the 2 may be close to 360
degrees).

So, is that safe, or do I need to make sure there are lines complete from
roots to branch?

I hope that is clearer.

Jim
