Chatting to another miller the other day and he showed me ome oak he had been attempting to saw from dartmoor...it was full of big lumps of twisted metal....about sixty odd years into the tree. 2nd world war plane crash shrapnel?

Funnily enough, yes it was. Barny McGroo was there too, but we soon got rid of that twit by tying him to one of the sails on the mill. Hopefully that'll be the last we see of him.......he is such a nosey parker:lol:

Don't want to cause friction here...but i don't think its very safe to climb a trunk and section it down like that...unless you are tied in?

 

Might flip etc.

No probs mate. what the pics dont show is the two huge limbs buried in the ground. I have dealt with a lot of windblown stuff, and even when i severed the root plate the butt didnt move. When we left the job there was still about 4 tonnes of trunk and the two limbs which were still secure.

Plus i would rather be not tied in and ready to jump in case the tree did move, as there was a large soft landing zone all round it too. I have to say i wouldnt want to be tied to that if it did go........

Yeah, i did wonder if that was what you were thinking, and like you say, it was too far, about 45 foot actually!!
