It`s bacterial canker (Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. fraxini), it`s rarely serious. I can`t see any major cracking. It doesn`t look particularly bad to me from those pictures.
-
Is that a vehicle wallop?
-
I`ve got a double snapper, I even used it once... If it`s over hard surfaces I`d just go and get it.
-
It does look like mycelium so you`re probably on the nail with A. mellea

D link with choked lifting strap as rigging point
Alinicoll replied to dicky mint's topic in Rigging and roping
Are we honestly suggesting that natural crotch rigging is bad practice? How is this in any way breaching any regulations? -
I`d say you were correct.

As long as you understand the forces and don`t overload the kit I don`t see a problem with that. People used to use topping strops, the bend ratio is less than ideal. I`ve used that setup in the past. Just make sure the D shackle doesn`t come undone. Having said that for the price of a pulley that will last for years.... -
The cocoon looks nice but I do think the pulley gets stuck less. Just my experience. It`s worth getting the longer pulley saver if you do a lot of larger take downs. Its great to have a top anchor to set up heavier lowering on big stems.
-
Personally I think the one without the cocoon retrieves better.
-
Keep positive Sean. Your updates have been both heartbreaking and inspiring.
-
Good to hear you still have a sense of humor. Still wishing you good and speedy healing.
-
Heal well Shaun. There`s lots of people thinking of you and sending happy thoughts.
-
If it hasn`t had leaves for four years it`s dead. That will make the bark peel off. It`s just part of the decay process.
-
It`s necrosis
-
Homebase do a mallet one side rubber one side nylon for £10 - 15, they do the job lovely.
-
It is Gano, the mycelium in the tubes may suggest it`s saprophytic. I`d want to quantify the decay. It does appear to have put on adaptive growth on the roots and butt.

A cutting from the cross section is useful.

Hi Matt, thanks for posting that. It`s the first time I`ve actually seen that video.
-
The job was in Gloucester. Yeah it was a bit different, a different toy to play with.
-
Thanks. To be honest I`m not sure where it came from or how far it was, the job was run by a company call Safety Boat who work the rivers around Gloucester, we were just there as the arb contractor side. It took a day for the boat to get to the job and a day to get back.

[ame] [/ame] This job happened last year. We were asked to help remove one standing pop and one that had fallen into the river. After exploring a number of options it was decided that using a crane barge was the best solution. This is the first video I have made. As I was doing the cutting I could only photo/ film so much of the job so the video is rather crude but you should get the jist.

Wise words

pleurotus ostreatus; Oyster mushroom

Looks like fire damage in pic 3. There`s a number of things wrong. Presumably they want you to talk about it`s various issues.

The 360tes is a great saw. It`s slightly prone to chucking it`s chain off and the filler holes are a minor problem, the timber dogs could be bigger too. However it`s got loads of power and is a robust professional standard saw. If I owned one climbing saw this would be my choice at the moment.
