was judgement i said it would fit down there, gareth confirmed it would with the trusty stick test

 

it was felled because they are building a extention from the house and these trees are going to be used to make the timber for the extention and 3 table tops in the making from the bottom slices

 

they were planted by a local estate for timber but then land got sold and they were never felled so least they are being used for what they were planted for

that sounds like a good enough answer to me, thanks

 

Sustainable timber usage even through change of possesion.

Nice one.

 

I like it when timber trees get used for timber, rather than felled when they are f'd and used for firewood.

made a change not ringing up we left the main stems in big sections that big one was left in a 14meter length, the small one was cut 14meter section cut in half. wouldnt like to say how much that weighs but quite a few tons i bet
