To Coronet or Not to Coronet, now that is a question

Inspired by this thread I've tried using a froe on small stuff (up to about 6") which worked quite well.

Any pictures Alec?

 

 

Had a stemmed ash to do today.....on the edge of a school field it had lots of hispidus......decided to do what is essentially a high pollard with coros.....:001_smile:

 

Nice work Mr Harding.

 

Any hispidus decay where you coro'd?

can't treally tell from the shots.

 

LA/ed client or private nieghbour?

Hi David......there was no evidence of decay at the height of the coronets.......hispidus was further down the stems with the biggest bracket in the main fork.

 

Client was Local Authority.....with the tree being in school grounds. My idea for the coro's naturally:001_rolleyes:

 

Couldnt get a platform to tree so all work from rope and harness.:001_smile:

Some of the work I've done for the Wildlife Trust. We've tried to retain these Beeches for as long as possible, monolithing and pollarding where we've been able to. We ended up felling the worst of them this year...Kretschmaria Deutsta and Meripilus Giganteus working in perfect harmony combined with busy footpaths which can't be re-routed. When I cut the top out of the oak, it split a bit more than I anticipated, scaring the hell out me and creating this lovely bit of habitat..

Ive been doing some tear cuts on some big old beech. I'm trying to rip big pieces out and get a good rip. I like to use this cut when I can as saves a lot of work on the chain saw. I bore i and try to make a hazard beam shaped cut, then release it with the top cut. Is that what other people are doing, or any other tricks for a good rip?

 

Liking that gibbon. Have tried that on beech & not had such good results:thumbup1:. On Ash yea & have also cut the final tension with a shallow lateral cut which has made some nice fractures too. To finish off with a bit of coronet is great imo to emulate a more natural look. I'm still not sure that the coronet helps colonizations of fungi & other life favorable environments.
