Have some medium size willow/alder/syc to drop into pond (they are at a 45 degree angle over the pond). Cant get access to do a gob and remaining stump is not important . Any ideas?

(I am familiar with bore-cutting and barber-chairing etc)

Can't you get a gob in if you spike up it a bit?

Look into the "coos bay" cut. It's not directional but may be perfect for the job.

Sorry, I may be missing something here, but why can you not access to put a gob in? Are they away from the pond edge?

If you are dropping them into the pond and stump left doesn't matter, can you not put a gob in as best you can, not necessarily 90 degrees to the bank, then back cut as normal?

I agree.

 

 

what about a pair of fishing waders? we use them from time to time.. handy bit of kit!!
