Tree didn't look all that big until compared to you/loader! And if it looks big in the pictures, I bet it was bigger in the flesh. Interesting scarf, was that just to get the saw in for a bore cut?

The bottom cut is a snipe. Makes the spar slide off the stump a bit more softly

 

Yes Stevie, hydraulic winch too!

You aren't wrong. That is absolutely bloody criminal.

 

Seriously though, what volume of elm work do you get? It might be worth a trip over.

 

 

 

 

If you like elm I have all this clogging up my yard

I did post not so long ago with limited intrest

Sorry rubbish photo

Nice one mate, that was fat. I also like snipes for felling trunks in tight spaces

I did see those photos Roseyweb, but whilst your elm is quite reasonable, it's a very different grade to the one Josh felled.

It's strange that snipes are only used in exceptional cases in the uk, whilst the Humboldt face cut generally isn't used, even in timber production, yet the cut is designed to reduce impact stress on the tree

Not yet Martin - I'm swimming in Elm up here and haven't had the need.
