It's in Northumberland mate, and it is my interest, I'm not a trained forester, or tree worker, got a background in horticulture, but I'd like to do something in tree work in the future

I'm a woodland owner, just over an acre of oak. It's  a hobby and I love it. I'm in the Midlands

 Nice work, but if you are selling timber cut it lower also a nightmare for anyone want to get about in there with tractor. 

Cheers WP

No not selling, the wood will be used in here, either as building material, or firewood 

I usually cut low then level the stumps off at near ground level, these couple of larch had a twist in the bottom of the trunk, and I thought they might spin off in the wrong direction so cut the notches in a bit higher

Sounds nice that mate 

Think there's around thirty plots in this wood 

There's only two fairly young oaks in here, but there is some impressive mature oaks in other parts of the wood 

Do you camp in your wood? 

I'm out tonight, think it's going to be a cold one, but nice with the wood stove going

I have camped in the past. I can walk from where I live to the wood in 15 mins so I stick to home comforts! I have a big shed with a stove in it, as I'll often spend the day down there.

Good stuff, be nice burning some oak wood, I used to camp at a place that has some oak trees, the seasoned branch wood was a good slow burner in the firebox
