how you do this?

[skyhuck]

I cant believe you heathens are suggesting grinding out that root ball:001_rolleyes:. Cut the tree up as you like- thats all rubbish- and clean up the roots. Try and keep as big a lump off it as you can handle/ move/ get out of the garden for tuning/ carving!

 

Is that really big enough to be worth bothering with??

 

I know the root flare is wanted for gun stocks, but I had imagined it would need to be from a more mature tree.

I agree with the guys who are saying cut it up and grind stump as is the root ball is not worth messing about with it will be heavy and you will struggle to move it about with out a machine .

just side gate access, so no chance of mini digger

Spade, mattock, axe, muscle. Hour tops.

If you have an outlet for the root ball then i'd try a jet wash to move the soil and trim the roots from the butt grind out any remaining roots.
