French Douglas Fir Felling

[bobarhyme]

Here are some pics of a job i did in France back in easter 2010. The Trees were being felled for timber, they had to be climbed and all the brash chucked back into the woodland as there was a lane right below! Did two trees about 120 foot high! took the familiy down for a nice paid holiday!!!

Glad that 1st pictures there as you don't appreciate the size of the stem because the other trees are big too. Nice pics.

[Bradstock]

nice work, and great pictures. where in france is that? and did you need wedges/lever for that big piece in the first pic? or did you give it a headbutt?

Thanks for all your coments!! Yea I had two wedges and a lump hammer with me in a small tool bag. I felled out a few lumps like this and kept dropping the wedges, pretty annoying!
