Whoohoo'

Just bagged a nice job for Sunderland Council in Barnes Park, Two felled tree butts in which they want a pond life type sculpture and the other is up to me, not sure yet.

Also two standing stems not as big in girth but pretty tall, one's pine and the other Horse Chestnut, these will just be have an Owl on top with Woodpeckers and Squirrels and whatever, going to have to use scaffolding on one and a cherry picker on the other, not looking forward to them cos I don't like heights'

They also have a load of other felled trees to work with and have brought in some driftwood to place around the park, they are also in the process of a root sculpture garden in which they would like some carving work.

I'm chuffed to bits' and really looking forward to 2010.

Cheers, merry xmas and all the best to you's:thumbup:

[Stephen Blair]

nice one tommy, maybe once you do those carvings you could replace your terrifying avatar, loking forward to 2010, and hopefully we can meet up in the spring:thumbup1:

Cheers, from what ive heard' the Horse Chestnut is not a long lasting wood, can any of you not tell me how long it would take to rot and be unstable?

[Steve Bullman]

not long enough to warrant the expense to carve it IMO, wouldnt want to put a time on it....and it would probably depend on if it was treated....and its highly unlikely they will be re-treating it regularly either?

[TommyTreecarver]

lol Yes it is a bit freaky, dig your kids and their hats' I will change it!

Yes it will be good to see you, I'm not that busy I can't yet.

Cheers'

You are probably right Steve and I will advise the architect on this, there is more trees to be taken down!

Thanks'
