does the shape of it really matter. what you posted was definitely aesthetic from a anthropocentric viewpoint. does that make a blind bit of differnce to your average saproxylic organisim?

 

I just cut and make a very rough cut with a grid pattern. My thinking is that this would provide enough areas of shelter to create some microclimates. We did it in a park where they were also removing deadwood. seems a bit pointless in this instance to me.

Hi Jamie, I think a point being made on the previous thread was that they didn't look natural.

 

So in a way, shape matters a lot. It has to look as though nature created it, not man.

Thats a more realistic effort than some I have seen.

Why not try starting with the log cut off at a sharp slope, rather than 90degrees.

The point i was trying to make wasn't what looks more natural but does the extra creativity and a more natural looking cut create any better wildlife habitat?

Probably not, a barts head will not be better than a masterpeice barts head. Although it will create a better habitat than a standard straight pruning cut. The Coronet has a huge surface area, whereas the standard pruning cut is your standard Pi R squared
