My first serious attempt at coronet cuts

[testcricket01]

they are for insects right? why must they look good??

pride in your work! why do we get the little bits that stick up on reductions, the weights been taken off but bits still stick up take them off to look good.

Those are the best coronet cuts i have ever seen.

I was just asking no need to get defensive. seems strange though as we are so used to doing nice pruning cuts..now we have people doing nice hack cuts.

 

Would it be easier with a carving bar?

Im going to take a photo of that oak to see if the veteran work has worked. Also that giant dying oak we did in the wind has started to recover.

On more recently dead or living stuff try to make some of it tear, then you've got less to rough up with a chain saw.

 

Agree with Gibbon here, if possible get a fracture in first (species & condition dependent) & then finish off with a little coronetting.

 

I think you're definitely on the right track

did my first coronet today, wanted to spend more time on it, but other people didn't want me to do it in the first place and laughed at the outcome saying whats that

 

I informed them about coronets:thumbup:

 

Anywhoos it'll probably end up being chopped off neat:thumbdown:

 

Its not as pointy as i woulda of like too, but only had the ms200t with us

Done a fair bit of veteran tree management work lately so I decided I'd post some pics of the stuff we've been doing and rather than start a new discussion and double up on similar threads I thought I might as well give this one a bump

 

The first batch were on various National Trust countryside properties.

Oak reduction and deadwood over path.

This one obviously looks uneven I know and rather bare on the reduced side, but it will fill out over time and it only really needed reducing over the path.

 

Oak monolith and large oak heavily weighted over path reduced to alleviate risk of failure.
