Hemlock to fell

[Al Cormack]

I have a hemlock to fell that is 3-4ft in diameter at the base.

There is decay at the base (why it's being felled) but could be ok further up.

 

Is hemlock any good for milling?

 

Cheers...Al

it's been used in joinery for long enough and i'm sure it mills quite well.

[se7enthdevil]

which hemlock is it?

 

 

Mountain Hemlock | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Softwoods)

Eastern Hemlock | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Softwoods)

Western Hemlock | The Wood Database - Lumber Identification (Softwoods)

At a guess Western Hemlock.

Do you want it?

[Al Cormack]

Forget all that. Client is keeping the timber.

I hope you're still charging them to remove it though!

Lol!

Thanks for the message Al. It's tidy old timber but needs protection for external use. Sounds like a nice chunky tree, have you got any photos?

I'll take some next week when we do it. Going to compare the base with the picus we had done

Took the Hemlock down today. Was as decayed as the Picus said!
