Oak Tree on Building

[Mesterh]

Is it cryptic clue night?

 

I will instantly compress a piece of wood and you try to power through it while its compressed.

 

 

I will win.

nice job

The fungus at the base of the tree. Any ideas I'm no good on fungi.

 

I've had a look on google at other pics of Merip and from what I remember before I spread sawdust over it looks like a lot of the other pics of merip. This would explain the failure in the way it did along with the tree being planted on old building backfill.

 

 

 

For future reference, it really is worth using the Fungi Directory on the links above.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to relay the story here.

 

Well executed.

Tricky job.

 

Well done mate.

[Mesterh]

Best you explain it in detail please.

 

Come on then man! I'm always willing to learn something new.

Think he means with enough power you can rip through to fresh timber before a split can form properly.

pretty much, i wasnt meaning you can defy the laws of physics:laugh1:if you have a super sharp 046 cutting small limbs and branches with hard to read tensions, you can power through, as we know wind blown trees are a night mare for jamming saws

Thought it was almost too obvious what you meant. Cutting any big timber with too small a saw leaves you suseptible to all sorts of tension hazards in my experience.

i want trying to be all mysterious and act like Yoda:001_rolleyes:, just a comment that i thought most wood get:001_rolleyes:

Ah right thought you had some nice new technique.

 

TBH though fast cutting through really tensioned/compressed timber isnt something I do, I've seen enough stuff whip about,explode and generally move and do what it wants so its nice and steady with me on that one.
