Birch reduction from today.

 

Customer very kindly emailed me some picks, so thought I would share, nothing to exciting I'm afraid.

One side possibly could have been felled but it always leaves such a dirty great mess. Branches stuck in the ground, soil all over where you need to cut and heavy wood on top of stuff you need to drag. Decided it was easier and more efficient to dismantle and keep everything in a tight area making clean up easier. My groundy (Masonw) had it all chipped and raked by the time I got down so all we had to do was fell the stems and ring up Started to persist about an hour from finishing but couldn't take away from the satisfied feeling at the end of the job.

 

Good job Ian

Yeh my thinking also,Not much point making it harder for yourself.

Climbing for gareth off here again today lovely rainy day up a horrible yew tree really spread out. really one sided tree over loads of graves alot of little stone surounds under the tree also. With not alot of anchor point. The reddish cuts was what we did last time a month or so ago because it was over the church roof . Managed to speedline most of the tricky timber over the graves.

Was fun.. I sectioned it to about 50ft in freezing fog.. Ropes, branches and me was getting covered in layers of ice as the wind blew in. So I braced it around the union with a big ratchet strap just for peace of mind when gobbing her out, stuck the tirfor on it and dropped the stem. She split on the union when it landed snapping the ratchet strap but it had done its job.

The majority of the stem is still in situ as the homeowner liked the look of it... Artistic apparently!!

nice bit of brown oak there Mark

 

Looks like fistulina on that one, got hold of that little oak pretty good and as the brown wood is technically dead then its probably just a lack of vascular capacity that killed it, looking at how much sapwood was left!
