Big branch over house.

were you able to fell the stem tom? or chog down in 6ft lengths? if so, consider a chainsaw mill. its far easier for 2 blokes to carry a 100kilo plank, than 2 blokes carry a 50 kilo ring

Here is the Coronet cut I did on the Stub.Its about three feet out from the next verticle branch.

 

Thanks for Dave's advice on work positioning.

Wont be everybodies cup of tea.

Obviously we can only see it from one dimension Mike, so I don't think you can have any worthwhile criticism.

But hats off to you for putting this in place, & giving it a first attempt in such a visual & aesthetic location.

 

Looks like a fair bit of cutting went into it.

 

The most important things at this stage, what does the client think?

The client is happy that what we did was in the best interests of the Tree.Fair play to them for letting us take a different path than the pruning they were accustomed to.

 

The cut is only visable from a couple of angles,I think I would make the Coronet more dramatic next time.The cut still has a straight profile,I think it couød do without.

Looks like gaffs were being used in the first post images...? Nice!

Looks a bit squared off but you gotta start somewhere and everyones a critic eh?
