Reductions

[Will Heal]

Just seen the picture of the chestnut reduction Steve put on the today's job thread, it's fantastic- but seems to me everybody puts pics of there best one up and maybe not the ones that didn't turn out so great.

I wasn't going to post this on the today's job thread but this is the last one I did that I had a picture of. Did it last week.

Let's see the last ones you all took a pic of even though you may not be too happy with them. And maybe we can offer each other some constructive criticism (or take the mickey)

No cheating now,

the last one.

Looks like I can't even get the picture straight let alone the tree!

Have a look at it on the level.

Good idea for a thread. Must start photographing the crap ones!

 

This was a silver maple from last week, absolutely hate working on these trees. The spec was a bit harsh so its basically just a damm good topping really. Was slightly awkward to get a good shape on but didn't come out so so bad all things considered

Hahaha that's one of your bad ones?

 

Truly sympathetic compared to some of mine!

 

I'll start photographing them.

Red oak from this afternoon, most of the inner crown was dead so not much choice for targets.

[Will Heal]

Yeah that's quite good really

Came in alright Steve , like you said horrible trees to work on and climb... brittle as well.

Another very hard reduction on a sycamore today.

Plenty of hazards to entertain as well.

What was so hard about it?

Were you hungover?
