Its either a problem cos you dont agree with the spec ....so dont do the work...or you gonna do it anyway so what are you on about....

HC is easy to find a shape in.....50% sounds alot but is that 50% of the crown or 50% in height..??

 

rest of your problems sound like something you should be asking the boss really...

[Steve Bullman]

your concern about the structural properties of chestnut is valid....however i find these things to be in proportion, ie....although the wood may be more brittle than some, it is also lighter, meaning theres often no need to get as far out on the limbs, you can work larger pieces, wether that be by lowering, cut and chuck, whatever.....same goes for lime etc.

Just take your lead from your boss. He'll get a nice high tie in point , get one similar then let him start/ define the new top. If he goes one way round the tree and you the other you'll meet at the other side. You want to be making similar cuts to him. He should be about 10 times quicker than you and you'll learn that reducing isn't as easy as it looks. Also stick with your rear handled saw ansd silky, it might be slower but he's going to do most of the tree anyhow.

 

I'm not meaning to be rude but moving round big trees takes experience and it doesn't sound like you have it yet. Being up the tree with another climber who's going to do most of the work allows you to take your time and not worry about the job not getting done.

 

oh and 50% is wrong, but sometimes the customer is right..

hi im new to this forum, u shouldnt worry at all your groundsman should help u in the perspective in wat the tree lokks like and how ur doing up the actual tree jus keep communicating and ull be fiine

[Micke]

If two guys are in three you gonna get two different sides of the tree. Even when there is two experience d tree worker who does the reduction you’ll see it. And you can’t say that one has done a better or worst job than the other, there still would be two sides of the tree. They just think different.

Even though. The insistence to make a 50% reduction would make me remain on the ground. But the main thing is: if it doesn’t feels good, you don’t do it.

[Dean Lofthouse]

You should be able to carry out a 50% reduction off ladders anyway.
