[David Humphries]

That looked an efficient beast of job there Mr Bolam.

 

Hats off to those concerned

 

 

 

Client keen on retaining the habitat-stump-chair, or are you 'coming out'.....................with the a dose of the old eco bug

Bit of both David....

Looks a great job mark, good weather to. Beats cutting blackthorn like I was yesterday...

[Mark Bolam]

Pretty much anything beats cutting Blackthorn mate!

[RobRainford]

nice job Mark, chestnut is only good for cutting with a sharp saw as it flies through and makes you feel good cutting super quick!

 

 

Is that your bike behind the chair?

Nice work Mark, How many ton bags of sawdust?

[Mark Bolam]

Lots. 2/3 of the Tranny back with boards was filled with dust and rakings.

 

We try and minimise the dust by bore-cutting the rings and quartering them with wedges, but it didn't help much this time!

 

I reckon that tree could have been done in a couple of hours with a crane and something that could haul away big lumps, but that would have meant a road closure.

 

I was stiff on Wednesday, for sure.
