Have to ask, what was the reason for taking it out?

 

 

Did the area have a fair bit of damage during the gale?

This oak was just on the other side of the fence to the recent failed Beech that you commented on . The area took a big battering . There was a decent cavity at the bowl but had grown compensatory wood and was healthy i'm afraid to say . The tree LOOKED dangerous with the lean and the big splits in the crown which was enough reason to fell .

PS .. I had no pleasure at all in taking this out

Did you make use of the wood?

No . The owner will use it for firewood to heat his mansion but this a poor outcome really . I just dont know enough people at the moment to pass this kind of opportunity on . I've had plum and some stunning gean wood recently again which just went for firewood , a complete travisty . I was speaking to my colleague today about getting some better contacts to move this stuff on because its becoming a sin .

Good luck with that, always good to get a result from your endeavours.
