  1. Is it in black and white???
  2. Good point! If you HAVE too summer fell Sycamore you can leave the crown on the felled tree until the leaves wilt, this helps pull out the sap to reduce the staining. Other methods are to get the butt planked immediately after felling and then stand the planks up on there end to let the sap run out. Another is to drop the butt in a fast flowing river, Secured by a rope or chain, the flowing water will push/pull the sap out. But as logger says far better to fell in the Autumn or winter, the rule I was told was once the black spots come on the leaf, where the aphid eggs were stuck to the back of the leaf, its safe to fell Sycamore for timber.
  3. I hope it was only a small butt for that price.
  4. Just knock a lump of bark of and you will see or feel the ripple.
  5. :congrats: Wise words indeed!!!!!!! Its a very easy trap to fall into. Getting the balance right is the art of good busness, IMO. I think I was lucky in that I paid for most of my kit during the boom.
  6. Nicely done SWB!!! Those are the jobs that sort the men from the boys!!!
  7. The 021 if really a none professional, occasional user saw, so if you got 4 years out of it, I would saw you've done well.
  8. The TC chains I've seen would be no use for nails, all the teeth would just ripped off. They are for dirty wood, contaminated with grit or mud, after winching etc. This is how I avoid hitting nails
  9. Chips staying on site, timber to be removed.
  10. Just a one thing, you did want our lowest price? As you said "price too get it".
