The route to work today.......

[tommer9]

I have got a customer in this place called Mylor, near Penryn. One of the jobs we have been planning for months now involves an amazing burry oak that has fallen into the creek. It is going to ruin a chain probably, but we are pricing that in, and the job entails breaking down the tree and getting the guy with the barge and hiab who moves the huge lumps of granite that boats moor to get the pieces across the river on the right tide, where we can hit them with a pressure washer ready for cutting and ultimately milling. I'll put some more pics up later on in the week....

I'll post a vid..........of me sharpening the 088 repeatedly and for hours on end!!!!!:lol:That wood is dirty and pickled. It may have been in the sea for 15 odd years!!!!

Looks good mate!

I would forget the pressure washer and peel the Bark off with Axes and Crow Bars.The Silt and Sand has had 15 years to get into the Bark,I don't think the Pressure washer will shift it mate.

[Stephen Blair]

good tip that

[Tree Man Tom]

Will the fact its been in the water for so long add any charistics to the wood, staining or colouring of timber?

[sean]

Why are they removing it after all this time? Can it not stay where it is?

[tommer9]

Good tip Mike. I will go prepared. I am more than ready to find that it is so pickled that it just sparks and doesnt cut!!

 

Tom, the wood will be very very seasoned, and i am expecting that if i do manage to cut it it will be a very dark colour, and riddled with gribble worm tunnels.

 

Sean- it is too attractive to be let go any further, besides which it has shifted into the way of the oyster beds and looks as if it may **** again into the main channel as the channel moves over time, and there are some pretty valuable yachts as well as the commercial aspect of the creek.
