Yes last 1 got milled and is going to be a new floor in a castle renovation:thumbup1:

 

This 1 got ringed up and stacked in the garden behind a big Laura's hedge to rot away and help the beasties!!

 

Chipped all the limbs with the big chipper, just didn't seem fair on Gloria:laugh1:

Compression forks on a conifer which we need to use for rigging part of another over a green house, bottom sling and pulley was used to support the union, the top pulley was on the weaker stem then I used the tail end of the dead eye to brace the two stems together, the conifer being rigged out was taken down in 7 pieces, then felled

Sorry can you enlighten me as I can't see how that bottom pulley has any bearing on re directing the lowering or strengthening the included union ???

Fine looking trees Mat.

 

Did you use both elastic and static Gefa or just one type.

 

Any shots of the bracing?

Hi David. We installed a flexible gefa type brace high in the canopy and an additional brace on a 16mm cable lower down. The cable was to back up and ageing static brace that's been in for about 30 years. It was quite a complex brace so Nod came down and helped me come up with a customised brace using the a new system he is working on. Didnt get and good photos in the tree it was raining too much
