Maybe not a good example, but i dont think you are human if you dont have a small amout of fear with 89cc engine turning razor sharp cutters on a 36 inch bar and no human can read all the signs and do all the other jobs and watch staff and all the other things that have to be done only the terminator can do that:001_smile:

What is being said is that we should all have an element of fear for chainsaws, not all things are caused by the person using it some things are out of your control e.g. felling an oak tree and it falls over backwards, softrot no holding wood how could you know. you can not allways read a saw is going to kickback.

I have some large oak trunks on the park and i am thinking of carving something to put in the front park. I thought of king arthurs sword in an oak block. Any other suggestions must be simple? i was also thinking of giant chain links.

Yew trees are basically fungi resistant but the creosoted sleepers sound like they would do no good at all as said they must have dug footings and damaged roots. I had to cut down two yews in a long row beside the church so they could take a picture of the tower for a grant and wow how they grow back:001_smile:

Nice one david keep me posted on your results. i am lucky in one way that most of my trees are private and the owner and me are the only people who normally go to them so they are left to live as they want to. But in the front park the public are in all summer so things have to be done right so i try to balance safety with keeping the old trees but it is becoming very hard to keep them.
-
What a lovely place i wish i worked somewhere like that and superb trees:001_smile:
