turkey oak delivers on the visuals, but it has the strength of balsa (that may be a sweeping statement, anyone got a brush). Good for one thing: Looking magnificent in the grounds of a stately house.

It is 114 or 115 for a 36" bar on 3/8, but that is probably not much help.
-
Your groundie only just managed to keep enough tension for the top. It looked like some furious scrabbling to hold on. Good video

Fell it along the hedge, and mill it on site. For the cost of hiring a crane you could afford to buy a chainsaw mill, big bar and chain. Even if it turns out to be no good, it can still go for logs. Simples.

How did this happen? prize for the nearest theory!

cheers for the replys peoples. This tree was resting on two branches that were on either side of the trunk, so i was reasonable sure that it was not going to roll. But to be sure i had it tied off to th landrover on one side, and to a tree on the other, whilst i was felling out the high up branches. I have in the past used other trees as anchor points so that i can drop down onto the tree and not have to worry about it rolling, but this was not available. It just got me thinking whilst i was scrabbling around under a couple of tons of timber: is there a different way ?

Good, but not quite i am after.

At this point, the tree is completely detatched from its root plate as it got blown off in the gales last year. The tree is just resting on its branches. I was wondering how people go about getting the high up branches (in this case 15' up) down without killing themselves
-
Whilst cutting up this blown tree i was thinking about safely getting the tree on the gound. How do you do it ? Safety consideration ? Tricks, knacks etc. There are a couple of other pictures that i have taken which i will post as this discussion (hopefully) proceeds.

Lit the wood burner for the first time tonight. Outside temp is a barmy 10 degrees C and dropping. We normally have a warm sunny spell once the kids have gone back to school, but it does not look like it this year. -
lycetts have always more than helpfull, and reasonably cheap.
-
No it is hiding behind the pedant. :lol:
-
That was cool. How come i can watch that, but none of the othere vidson you tube ?
-
Words fail me

I reccon that it is a culmative effect that has done for this tree. Possible root compaction, salt leaching from the road, two very cold winters, may have weakened the trees defences, and allowed infection to gain access to the tree. i'm probably wrong, but that is my 4 penith.
-
I would love to see what all the excitment is about, but for some reason i can not access either you tube or face book. Dam annoying
-
A bit to arty for my taste, you can not hear the saw raw !

Wheel barrow. The largest plank i have managed to balance and move 75 yards was 10' long, 24" wide, and 4" thick. Hurragh for brute force and ignorance.

Smells of cat piss, i don't know why people use a plant to create a hedge that smells so strongly. Thuja would probably be you best bet. Or one or two of the coloured layandii, that do not grow as quick or as tall. You can create a colourful hedge of different colours.
-
It certainly looks interesting. Crunch time How much, and where is it ?
-
At least it was not the first. That would have messed up the day.

Lets hope so, or you will be facing an expensive bill.
