Taking the top out of a tall conifer the other morning :

Milling very large monkey puzzle for 2 days at a castle estate near Waterford. 15' logs into 3.5" thick slabs to match other outdoor furniture. Seemed like an excessive thickness but an allowance of .5" for movement and planing. - they move their other substantial furniture with a loadall, so maybe not over the top! At least in this dimension the knots won't drop out.
The slabs were laid out like this so the client could see the character before stick and stacking correctly.
Thank goodness for the lucas mill. Too big for a mizer and way to tedious for an alaskan !!

Another fun time, this time dealing with a fallen macrocarpa that had uprooted and fallen downhill and  was poised over downhill neighbours house. Required some fishing for limbs.

 

 

 

ended up in quite a pile

I may have asked you this before, but what are you using to prune (saw wise) on a job like that?

Mostly the  ms150 but use the zubat 33mm for really small stuff.

Not your 160?

Ok, thanks. Like Joe says, a battery saw would be my weapon of choice (if I had to do stuff like that anymore, hard work) how come you didn't use your 160?
