    Looking at taking this down soonish, a fine specimen with a bit of crown dieback and general loss of vigour. Can't think why?

    Ditto what he said. Got myself a credit with the HCC.

    No not familiar with Pencarrow House, Perenniporia is apparently fairly rare not down here obviously, saw an Inonotus hispidius on a red oak at the welsh tree climbing comp a couple of weeks ago, hope you're well mate.

    Where'd you find that one Tom? We found some beauties at a school recently. Meripilus and Perenniporia

    Dave the 660 is nice to use in the tree for big stuff, Husky 372xp is good for the medium, 361 is a good all rounder, don't really know about other big saws, though big Huskys are definately tempting. Funny that its the only Husky I have too!

    Marc that is a fine example of a reduction. I tend to be as particular but only use 200t and silky on most of mine. The felco 5's come out for epicormics.

    Hi David to answer a few questions the canopy was only slightly stag headed in parts, a few dead branches but the leaf was late forming and one would presume from that early abcission also. Only girdling what was seen in the shot and the stump is yet to be finished due to the fact that a series of six inch nails was hit on the first sink attempt and therefore was felled at chest height and from that point no obvious decay was present, heartwood intact as well as sapwood - suprised me, although to take it down closer to the FB would surely uncover a lot of white rot and will be sure to post the pics when I can.

    whoops forgot the attachment

    This is a pic of a Perenniporia fraxinea on an infected ash which we took down on monday next to a golf course, I'm sure you'll agree its a bad boy bracket but does anyone have bigger. By the way its not a competition and its only an ms 250

    Ski goggles are a useful tool. I was stabbed by a frond after it slid down the pruning pole in Melborne went in the fleshy bit of my hand above the thumb and came out an inch further on - owch! They are nasty, i'd recommend dynamite , but personally I've never tried it lol!
  21. Rowan the Bruce
    Nice photos and good job there Dave.
  22. Rowan the Bruce
    Damn looks like i missed a good arguement there, I've lived in Cornwall for 31 years and I don't know where Harlyn bay is; then if it's past Bodmin its all a bit wild up there me ansums!
  23. Rowan the Bruce
    He only did a couple of days for me and thats the last thing I'll say on the matter .............................. except I'll stick to the oompaa loompaas!

    Hi to another Cornish Crew!

  25. Rowan the Bruce
    That was a Thor one aswell wasn't it Lee? Yeah I spoke to your missus I think, good advice as usual but the amount I'll be splitting probably about 20-30 loads per year is really not worth me spending too much and I don't have a tractor or room to keep one so i am limited to a petrol one which mostly only go up to about 13t tops, anything else will be sawn up by ateam of oompaa loompas
