Yep!!

 

But its alright because its resting on a crude platform built around the top of the multi stems!!

why not just use spikes be quicker than building a platform and sticking a ladder up it.

raafbeard is that one of your own jobs or one you just drove by?

An Oak we felled on Friday some climbing to minimise the ground damage and to allow the tree to be felled.

 

Poor photos from my phone show some of the decay caused by Inonotus Dryadeus. The white wood is just pure cellulose that the fungi is not able to degrade. Hard black barrier zones are visible.

 

The area around right hand hinge also shows some decay by Ganoderma applanatum.

 

I doubt the decay extends much further up the stem but I imagine you would see more decay if you cut the stump lower to the ground.

 

The tree had a heavy front lean to it so was felled using a hold and release cut (dainish pie) thats what the big lump of step cut on the top of the butt is.
