Morning all, Same as Mick, work building up a lot, enough to get to Christmas and further. So much for slowing down as getting more decrepit😂

A fungus growing on a fungus?

You don't have much to say about the killing of innocent Palestinian children. Why's that? You clearly don't get it either.

The stihl Ms 201t was like that I once owned even though I ran it on aspen, found out it left the factory without a gasket in the carb. If it gives you no warning and cuts out either on idle or when your moving around the tree or randomly after a cut . I'd rule out everything else first but that was it . Tried gaskets and carb rebuild through a dealer no good , tried a new carb through a dealer that was roughly 250/300 from memory .... still didnt run well.

Along similar lines this pear in a private collection/orchard in Worcs.

Hoo boy This could get interesting The great arbtalk avatar war of 2025🤣 (Shitpost)

Charlie Kirk. RIP.

Good call. Not something I'm familiar with, in fact, as I'm almost entirely working with broadleaves, this is the first experience. Many thanks!

Yes, I am working on loosening the soil mechanically to give the new roots a head start on the turf roots. Mounding is better. I saw a mounding machine with a three-cornered rotor system. Works well, by the look of it. Definitely quicker hand planting then. Thanks.

If you are down to say 15% on the meter just take the boards indoors if you can a let them slowly finish off drying they will be atuned to your house that way if you dont have the space its either carry on with air dry or find a kiln ,vacume kilns are cool but not many around

Found on a dead Spruce stem. Any idea what it could be?

Also try contacting local companies, if you want regular supplies then, as above, you need to become a good tip site for a local company and they are best contacted directly. Some tips: Logs are processed into sizes ready to burn once dry, these are not going to be free as that takes work. If you are a going to be a tip site you need to be asking for wood not logs (arb arisings is the term used here). As above be flexible. Despite what the internet will tell you all wood burns(!) and releases the same amount of energy per unit weight when dry (when using a wood burner). Less dense wood does take more space but generally that is not so much of an issue (also soft wood generally dries quicker, which can be handy). In fact some softwoods are really good wood to burn once you figure out how to best split them (leave the faster burning woods in bigger chunks).

Is this still possible to get done at Alice Holt? If not does anyone know other places that do this?

Also got a trainee position available.

Thanks Shavey, lets see if L&S can get the smaller parts but it's good to know you've got a whole unit so I can get the saw up and running anyhow.

Ok, not quite sunset. Today looking SE

Thanks, yes, I'll try and find a group.

Yes I have some parts about in storage mostly but I sometimes get some rarer parts offered too me which is a bonus
