  1. I have yet to find a faster way of seasoning logs, except through a kiln.
  2. Currently out of print, but if you can find a second hand copy, you won't go far wrong with this book as a starting point. http://www.treesource.co.uk/woodlands%2Ca-practical-handbook~1344
  3. Any idea when they will be available, dont suppose they will be compatible with senna
  4. I got mine from John Thomas in North Wales. https://www.johnethomas.co.uk/ Really helpful
  5. If the tree is still standing after the recent storms, then it is probably fine. Hollow tree means good bat potential. I would be encouraging the kids to play elsewhere, and let the tree it do its thing. Its all about risk, driving your car every day Is about 1 in 3-400 risk of having an accident. Being struck by a tree is greater than 1 in half a million.
  6. @gdhHave you tried Coed y Cardi or Steve Lloyd.
  7. I have .5Ha of willow which was cut 2 years ago. We want the site mulching, stumps are 8-10". Anyone in far west Wales interested Give us a tinkle 07966792798. Murray
  8. Much underrated 3 ply, and many uses.
  9. It was good being able to reach over the root plate of the smaller tree, cut the stem with the shear and knock back the root plate in one action. The smaller ones often have more twang then the larger one.
  10. Storm Eunice, I haven't seen a wind blow site like this for a while. The Doosan earning its keep, making a difficult job soo much easier, and safer.
  11. Many half fallen trees over the last couple of days
  12. Isn't this what the stihl smart connector can be used for. https://m.stihl.co.uk/STIHL-Products/STIHL-Smart-Connector/287476-113773/stihl-smart-connector.aspx
  13. And if you don't have the ability or time, Chris forestry sells them ready made. https://www.chrisforestry.co.uk/store/Flint-Kindling-Splitter-p135294160
  14. Orange wig on a stick? Coprinus ozonation (spelt wrong), and a meadow wax cap.
  15. Good video. Zip lining almost becomes a pleasure with a tree like that.
  16. Cheviot always has stock, good quality UK grown trees. Welcome to Cheviot Trees CHEVIOT-TREES.CO.UK Cheviot Trees One Stop Shop
  17. You decide https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1LrkWW9POc&feature=youtu.be
  18. My kids used to be that excited, but then they turned into teenagers. All i get is scorn now. Enjoy it while it lasts.
  19. I've Had the Predator 360 for a while. For what little grinding i do its been faultless. What sold it to me was the machine swings on it own axle, which makes it soo much easier to use.
  20. Add a separate line tensioned with a tifor, with the pull in line running though a pulley, and everything is lifted off the ground. A lot less issues with getting stuck behind stumps.
  21. Any bollard it a massive step up in terms of controlability compared with a capston. But don't forget that natural crutch rigging can be far more efficient. Don't get too hung up on the shiny 'my precious'.
