Holy ash

[armchairarborist]

customer had started felling, got scared and given up, wanted a price for rest of tree taken down.. managed to shove a 3ft stick into cavity on remaining stem, the guy called me as a 'back up plan' in case his mate couldnt push it over with some sort of machine.. asked him to let me know when they're doing it as i'd love to watch..Ed:thumbup:

looks like he gave up because his saw was so blunt!

What are you going to push the other stem over with Mozza?

[Mark Bolam]

 

Some interesting cutting techniques there...

 

Would love to see a vid of the second stem takedown.

 

Remember to stand well back!

Would be a nice bit of corro/fracture/bart work there if perhaps a bit higher up the stem.
