don't panick skyhuck, i dont work for free!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes at a loss, but not for free

 

i didn't cut down the tree. i just "recycle" the wood, which was delivered to me.

 

deliver the wood on monday, so get paid then, and only cut it up so the buyer can split himself so was a quick job to reduce down into manageable pieces

Hope to get a load more pics, but we don't quite know what is happening to it all yet. Insurance bod hasn't been round yet.

 

We are keen to salvage what we can rather than just bust it all up for logs.

 

May need a bigger Alaskan mill....

Mark, get some one in with a lucas mill or any mill and plank it.

 

is there any blue stain?

[Mark Bolam]

Blue stain?

 

There is half a bloody flying bomb in there!

 

We will probably take all the brush off and get it all flat on the deck in sections, then look at milling possibilities. Even lying on it's side parts of it are 35' above the ground. You wouldn't want it rolling on your toe...

Sounds good- would be a shame to let a tree like that be lost. If anything could me made from it then it would have posterity at least.

Looks like you have got a cracking job on your hands there Mark! Good luck ringing that butt!
