Excellent pics Simon! Did you take that picture as that big mother’ landed? (looks like you were pretty close).

 

Isn’t it lovely standing round with a camera!

 

I tried to get it in sequence on the way down but a couple were blurred so only got it as it left the cut one about half way (below) and as it hit the deck!!

That is a serious Vet ash, and a job you can be well proud of, i am very very jelous.

 

Might be worth adding this to the ATF data base, it is certainly VET class

 

and quality photos, top draw!

A couple more the guys took today along with Joes new Avatar!

More of the cuts and the finished tree. TO checked it today and was pleased with the finished result.

The long curved fracture is a peach, like the sink cuts too.

 

Although not exactly the safest of techniques, I think to generate fractures with angled cuts rather than straight cuts helps achieve a beter canvas to start with.

 

Client happy, TO happy, I'm guessing your happy........it's job well done.

 

 

Nice one Simon.

 

 

 

How much longer do you think this took your team, compared to a similar less eco freindly approach?

 

 

 

What ya gonna do with the tonne of saw dust it generated?

Great stuff Simon, that looks really good. I am waiting for a chance to do some coronet cutting, but have mentioned it to a few customers who looked at me suspiciously even after a brief explanation of the idea.

Thanks David

 

Not sure how long the cuts took will find out, luckily the tree is located in a rough paddock area so everything got chipped onto site, the sawdust stayed exactly where it fell

I've had exactly the same response from most domestic customers so it was nice to finally get a tree in a position where the aesthetics were not a priority!

Just do it, and and tell them why after.

 

Nice job
