Get your spikes on you pussy!

 

How close is that line John? Electrickery?

[John Shutler]

close enough for it to be a little bit time consuming, but far enough away for it to not be to much of a problem, if the cable wasnt there id contemplate spiking up and knocking those limbs off

Nice stick John. Is it robur? And can you educate me to what the white marks are that you close-up photo'd, and what are the FBs the remains of? I was guessing merip or armilaria, but am probably wildly off the mark......

yes i think it is mate, the oaks are part olf an old plantation just up the road from bucklers hard(old ship building place) i think it is the old money fungus at work,but i suspect theres others working on this but as well. not sure what the white marks are really, it apears to be some sort of fungi growing in the tunnels left by boring insects

That sould turn out soe beautiful timber. You(or rather your customer!) may even end up wih some 'brown' oak out of the lower end.
