I think its pretty obvious now that there was another option here, and hopefully dan will have a different perspective next time.

 

dan, you say you "strictly stick with the physical side" but try to consider yourself as the "CP" competant person, your the last chance a tree has, and the one who gets up close and personal with the tree. Its your responsibility to say as and when a tree works spec is "over and above" and more importantly doing more harm than good.

 

Your obviously a young lad, in time youll change your perspective i am certain. i was you once, more concerned with "ability" and being a good climber.

 

However, as you mature and your appreciation for the trees and their life cycle increases your "appreciation" for the finer points of our work will lead you to a deeper understanding and allow you the confidance to alter the situation in way more in sympathy with a trees natural habit.

 

no ones judging here, just trying to influence you to have a little more empathy for the tree and to encourage you to have more confidance in your own views regards to the TOs opinion.

Regardless of why it still has an ok shape. Were you not tied in twice though?

Nice photos of an interesting job Dan. Luckily it sounds like you are thick skinned enough to see past all the criticism that gets slung at those brave enough to post pictures of their work!

 

I agree with gibbon; the final result looks ok really.

Finished job looked good to me:thumbup1:

 

Why anyone would not want to do a paying job is beyond me!

Glad to see the lad has finally got some credit. I doubt I would have had the brass to question head on the spec of either boss or TO in my formative years. Some times when the man says cut we cut

[High Scale]

even so, (would appreciate image of cavity) a heavy overall reduction would have resolved issues IMO

 

 

A heavy overall reduction would have ruined the tree.

I agree, would be sacrilege on a gorgeous old tree such as this. Isolation and removal of the dodgy limb was the best bet imo. Great job:thumbup1:
