Nice work Drew,

bracket looks like a Ganoderma, possibly applanatum, any thoughts?

Any shots of the stump after you took the trunk down?

 

Cheers

Definetly ganoderma but cant be any more specific. was a rushed job just to take it back to a standing stem due to it being leaning towards the house in the picture. When the stem gets taken down i will be sure to get some more pics. All the oaks seem to be falling over at the moment.That stem fell out on another perfect sunshine day.

Cheers Drew,

look forward to it.

Am interested in seeing how much functioning sound wood there may be, around that exposed heartwood.
