storm damaged beech removal

[testcricket01]

after my thread where i cleared up one of the main stems of a beech had blown over. we were back again today to remove the remaining stem climbed spiked up got to the top and it didnt feel right, so i swung across into the next tree along and stuck my rope in that one then swung back, took me 25mins get up tree and 40mins to get the tree all ringed down. had bit of breakfast split all the wood by hand and ended up with 4 loads of split beech home by 1pm. reason for not straight fell was some of branches would catch the next trees possibly get hung up. plus old fence which has a big dent in it from the storm damage and didnt want to add to it.

 

 

all comments welcome.

 

enjoy.
