Brushcutter felled it, think it was just to get a consistent height for the felling cut.

Just wondering why you cut the toes off if you were expecting it to be rotten all way down?

 

 

Here we go again...

Ah as the man who felled it i can tell you why..... I rigged it to be pulled at about 7m (or Caleb did). I had a look in at the timber in the limb that ripped out due to storm damage. No signs of rot in the wound. Also no fruiting bodies around the base. Hence taking off the toes only about 3"-4" off anyway just to get a working level.

 

Been doing some really crappy trees recently that the toes have to stay on or there is literally no timber to play with,

Very well explained, cheers.

I always cut the toes off rotten trees, it makes them fall over easier.

Some of them have even gone the right way.

Was it red? Because you may need to spit white wine over it to get the stain out.

Brush cutter, if you only knew me as some of the others here, you'd know I'm a long way away from anything as official as the NPTC😜
