Yeah you wanted to pay me 40 but I pushed it up to 50!!

Cool photo set. I like the use of the rigging plate to attach the two slings to the vertical section and also the splitting on site.

Th eforwarder belongs to a friend who took the wood for free but was only on one day, after that we had to split the rings from the final part of the trunk and manhandle it away. This was the slowest part!

If you look at the very first tree, you'll see another in the back ground which is a clone.

 

There were six planted originally all with the same branch structure split trunk etc.

And in the other direction you can just see another tree with same structure

Rupe, what a lot of faffing.

 

Couldn't you just have done it on a sunday, taken a section out the drystone wall and felled it down the road, bish bash bosh

Great pictures Rupe - looked like a nice smooth job. Good to see people making the most of labour saving devices such as the block driver and mechanised splitter on site.
