Would say 11/12 Rob, Descending is just a matter of getting used to it - Different anchor points /trees behave differently (smoother/smaller = better) - try it from a cambium saver to keep things consistant

Looking good Ewan!

Great pictures of a thoroughly enjoyable weekend! I think I speak for all of the Kentish contingent when I say big thanks to the organisers and crew! We had a brilliant time and look forward to coming back!

Slick!

Hi Mark! I'm good thanks mate - we've been doing a lot in Ashford recently and looks like we will have a fair bit more coming up fingers crossed. Though now march is out the way things may settle down a bit - missing domestic garden work! Was really pleased to read that you got a job with what seems to be a good outfit. You'll go from strengh to strengh mate and what a lovely time of year. I'm off to norfolk show next weekend, but it would be great to catch up at Jonesies or somethin. Good luck with it all - let us know if you ever need any help. Enjoy your weekend Cheers Dan

Congratulations Mark! Well chuffed for you man!

I know what you mean! Is a lovely pear though - I think removal is to harsh! I would suggest Ash out then light corrective thin, reduction for less than 200, no point in pruning too hard or re-pollarding. Then just keep it in check every 4 years or so. Garage looks rubbish!
-
I say the garage!! Altho the ash could be removed without too much heart break!

Good Work Hama!! I left Watford three years ago and spent many of my formative ahem years in Whippendell woods a fantastic place with some amazing trees! -
Love the pics from days gone by! Thanks for posting/sharing!

If it were me I would just buy a 15" bar for the 260...both saws work fine and I think you have most things covered......maybe investing in a bigger bar would be preferable. If you want a new saw then sell them both and buy one, but as they both work ok I wouldn;t bother for now.
-
Doesn't really make sense! You say you have a 441? So why not just buy a new 15" bar? Don;t see the point in selling saws that are working fine. Hope that helps!
