I've a punt between 25-45 years.

Ha! How long for them?! 1 hour 30 mins??!

[Ty Korrigan]

Clients images, he insists they are pines and got shirty when I suggested they where perhaps not.

He also thinks they are VERY old indeed...

Whatever...

I'm not sure I can be bothered even quoting for such a character if that is how he talks to me BEFORE a job!

Anyway, any ideas on species and age out there?

Cheers

Hi Stu,

 

Just boshed 3 sitka about that diameter, had a bet with the client as to how old.counted the rings and they were 38 years old. 26 meters tall, and a 28" bar just did them in a one'er, if that helps. would go with Doug fir or sitka? Bark just says sitka to me, but damned if I know why!

 

If the clients that ignorant, let him have it, make your price that bit higher and tell him he is bang on with pine ident. tosser tax:thumbup:

[Ty Korrigan]

Tosser tax!

OMG, that's really hurting my sides, I'm giggling like a girlie...

Tosser tax! Oh there I go again!

I'm going to put that on one of my quotes, I've just got to do it.

Plus Vat at 20% Plus Tosser tax at whatever % depending on how many "Just can you's" the client try's it on with.

Mind you, I'm not sure we should be using this word outside of the members section!

barks all wrong for douglas, I'd go for another fir, probably abies alba.

Looks like over mature Norway Spruce.

Long shot cos of pics.

With those long fronds is Brewer's spruce [Picea breweriana] an option?

Google picture search it; you'll see what I mean.
