If the price of firewood keeps going up they will.

That larch had been topped previously? Looks a lot of weight in those laterals, wise choice.

 

 

Yeah, timber had signs of rot for about the top 15ft of stem wood.

[Ian Flatters]

Why is that Ian?

Thanks in advance

Al.

 

 

Just personal preference really. I've used grcs a lot in the past and I know it's more than capable but have always thought it looked fragile in comparison.

Early start for a commercial hedge cut.

 

No befores sadly as it was a rush job.

Back to a bit of forestry for today

Nice ride provided by the estate even if the crane is a bit flimsy compared to the botex.

Ugly big edge trees that they didn't fancy smashing the walls with so I stripped the ridiculously long side branches on a few spruce before the poles get dropped on Monday once I've uncovered the bottoms from the tangle of brash iv created.

Now that is a good selfi! Forest back drop on a sunny day with beard full of sawdust up a tall tree 👍

Since moving back to South Wales and sending CV's out at the same rate of receiving spam emails, I have in the meantime picked a job up to tick over. Just me, 009 and a hired chipper, and stump grinding to follow on Tuesday.

2 day job - first day removed all coni branches off all conis (48) and then removed stem, chipped all trees into tree line moving chipper after every chipped tree spreading the chip, logs moved and stacked, ready to stump grind. Second day - stump grinding 48 stumps on Tuesday
