arbtalk 1300bc

just got new iron axe from sweden cos the germans are still hacking down trees with stones

 

Vort is this I hear Stig - the Iron age should be started around 700bc get Herr Stihl to finish his Bronze axe:thumbup1:

 

Arbtalk 2200bc rate my Henge:001_tt2: Sorry had to do that one.

I promise I'm no tree hugger! But please can alternatives to felling be considered in this case? I'm happy to offer my services if required - this tree sounds like it's on its way to veteran if it's not there already, and if the only concern is one of potential failure I bet we could find a way to retain it at no extra cost to the owner :-)

 

Have too say,,i totally agree,,,,were just passing through,,,,leave alone,,,or prop up,,,,

If he can avoid cutting it down I would do everything possible to save it.

Regardless of age it's a belter so it can't be felled.

Morning,

I have a lump of yew branch I asked a client for.

It is 40cm in diameter and the rings so close it is hard to count but I have counted around 150years.

I will try again now I have read this thread using pins placed every 10years as a marker.

I'll report back on it with images.

Also, I recall, although I was using a sharp chain, it felt I wasn't it was so hard.
