  2. if you want foxes, come shooting with us-2 foxes on a half day phesant shoot!
  3. i think he may have meant, "the asking price is not the VALUE of the buisness"
  4. yeah, i do agree with saving mature trees, but this one was too far gone to save for long-double wire braced, large branches hanging on tears, car park, high volume of pedestrians, listed wall. . . personally i would have pollarded it.

    start again, think of future generations :)

  10. yeah its the root balls thats best for gun makers-and a few feet above ground, as the grain in the rootballs swirls about and looks pretty:001_tongue: wish i had a walnut gun stock! split woods about that down here too, but the couple of wood turners i know, i give wood to for a favour in return basis, including buttering up the girlfriends old man:001_smile:
  11. when we cut down 2 large burr elms, the wood merchant wouldnt even take 3 trunks, 2 inc root balls of 10ftx2-3ftdia of walnut for free something to do with the russians flooding the market (this was 18month ago) wood turners would be best bet
  12. practice! i wouldnt worry about redirects for now, just keep your weight in your rope, lean far foward(in direction of branch) have one hand releasing your rope, the other infront of you, grabbing branches,the branch for stability. if you get to a point where youre nerves are going, just think whats the worst that could happen? - a slip? a swing into the tree with a little bump? oh and use a friction saver-nothing worse than having a tight rope! just takes time really, soon you'll be running along!
