We had for a couple of years a couple of grass snakes living in the compost heap, every time we went to put stuff on the heap one or both would hiss loudly. Made me jump out of my skin the first time it happened.

I am reasonably sure that those brown blobs are quite common in elm, and i have never got around to finding out what they are. Sorry that i could not have been any vaguer

Hawthorn dense nature makes it good for mallets heads

The other advantage of the humbolt cut is when the trunck are skidded/ skylined up the hill, the downward facing slope of the stump reduces the chances of the trunk snagging on the way up.

£100 is about what people are prepared to spend, which is why i am doing about 2 or 3 a week at the moment. Once you get your eye in so to speak you can knock them out in a couple of hours. Remember i am only doing the simple ones.

Not in Wales, it is the sodding ferret -
They are my local shop, well hour and a half in a landrover, and nothing is too much trouble, so if they run the training as well as the shop, you will be well looked after.

I can not compete with the big boys when it come to large scale developments, as i can not afford the software, and generally their complcated nature makes my head hurt. However for smaller scale development i charge £100 and use the maps that the architect have already drawn up. If the development is then given the green light, i charge an additional £50 to mark up the RPA's etc, and for a couple of site visits when i am passing to make sure that the naughty builder is not abusing the agreed terms.

People that i used to work with, used chip shop oil in their saws, that made the back of their waggon smelll like a chip shop on a hot day. Nice !

Below 20%, 10-15% is better, but to achieve that you will need to have stored under cover, unless you are very lucky. Which moisture meter did you go for, and how much ?

I saw the post, and thought that it was 200 tons of timber for sale, the first couple of post confused me even more til i realised what was being offered. It has been a long day.

[quote name= did hear ages ago the most different grafts on one tree is over 100.![/quote] One of the tree warden networks (and i can not remember which one) found an apple tree with 450 different apple varieties bud grafted onto the original tree. It had taken the man 40 years to do this, and he is still adding new varieties as the tree grows

I find that a long straw is most usefull in these situations, complete with a small pump that attaches to the mug. Thus minimising the amount of sucking required once above 50'

That metal tree in the background is going to need a special type of chainsaw to prune it !!

Might be worth contacting your local tree warden network/ancient tree hunt about that tiny Walnut, to make sure that they know about it. Nice tree by the way -
We sure can Blakes 7, providing you do not mind a stinky landrover with a top speed of 55mph !

Looks like a dagger, did it have lots of fine hairs over the top half of the body ?

Chainsaw Trousers
slack ma girdle replied to Chris Sheppard's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
My sip's with the gay rainbow stiching, and the calf protection at the back, have lasted me over to years in the woods. I have started wearing canvas gaiters, which take most of the bramble/ brash abuse, and stop the trouser bottoms from getting trashed.
