Got round to slabbing a walnut stem I picked up a few weeks ago. Not loads of heartwood but a nice contrast. Had to trim off the live edge on one side as the mill maxed out at 22"

Whats the plans for the slabs joe?

 It all goes to my brother in law's wood shop. In a couple of years itll be planed and turned into something that he's thunk up.

Not in the same league as you “big boys”. This is about as big as I go in terms of pruning. Only had to climb up to do the top of the crown.

Any comments gracefully taken on board ?

Good result,sometmes the smaller prunes can be more of a challenge getting out on tips,getting good anchor points etc.

They’re a pain to price as well.

Always sounds like a lot of money for a small tree if you want to take the time to do it properly.

 

Looks good to me Maria.

This Ash had shed a large limb (? Drought stress??) and the limb I’m doing was hanging dangerously. I like this pic cos you can’t see my gut[emoji481]

It’s an absolute must, to have a good pair of eyes on the ground ...... 

I priced this up at £220.....Took just over half a day.

And yes  “ Stihlmadasever “ , tying in to limbs that move when you move is a bit freaky !
