Heavily reduced tree with only primary structure remaining. The whole tree shook substantially with every piece we removed. Once clear from the BT and ABC lines it was felled.
 

My phone died early in the day so this is all I have.

Dead horse chestnut could only get small Mewp in as tight for space and had to remove large timber.

No, it wasn’t too special. No real figure (and no burrs) and very wet in the middle.
Although there’s a high stump to take down yet if you’re interested?
I used to take a lot of dead elm down alongside a burn/stream and that had massive burrs. Some 4/5 ft in diameter.The guy that took them said he’d give me what they were worth after he’d done his bowl turning. Never heard from him until I bumped into him at a trade fair with him selling his burr elm bowls. Got one 10 inch diameter bowl for about 5 ton of stump burrs. Kind of lost interested after that.
