Time`s are getting harder for us Brickies so beggars cant be choosers especially after spotting these tree`s down in the neighbors field. Apparently they have been down for a few months so i asked if could have them for Firewood. I haven't got a clue what they are but they chop real easy,lol. Oh the Orange handled saw hopefully will be a white one early some time next year

As an amatuer home user my first thoughts were what a good idea i`ll pay the extra and get the new modern design tensioning system. Even to me it looks very fragile and expencive looking to replace should it get damaged. It`s starting to look like another saw purchase for me one with nuts and a white handle.

The Chain Quick Tensioning models are they better than the standard option saw`s either is low/high power models?

It`s down to sensible use and know the limitations of the tool`s at hand.. Pointless having a massive powerful chainsaw around the chipper, Hedge laying or fencing but i suppose it would be good for the posing aspect eh Quipy just as long as its got a white handle

I see you did`nt get the present containing a sence of humer again this year Quipy But its very true what you say floging cheap tools will feck them up. Do i think you were hard on me? Nope.. Now calm down loosen up and put your dummy back in eh

That Treequip guy recons your a bummer if you dont have a white handle ont saw

Hi Charlie there is no financial interest in this wood and the work that i`m about to do will be unpaid and in my own free time. But yes i do have an interest in nature and conservation. There are no protected species present and the only history that i know of it is that it`s been like this for for the last 25 years untouched. The site is very boggy in the majority of places with limited access. What do i want to achieve? well some thing that Deer will like Charlie.

The best part about this is that i have no woodland management or tree care experience that`s why i`m asking for advice. This little wood is about 90% Alder with a few Birch and as many Oak. A few Holly a small amount of Willow on the other side and some mature Elder Berry. Coppicing the lot i don't think my farmer mate would like that though i could see the benefits myself. Treedave`s advice for small areas sound`s better and would look more easy on the eye`s from the farmer`s point of view too Extracting the firewood would be a job in itself i cut down two tree`s last year and wheelbarrowed the wood over 200 yards to the nearest access point.

I thought i`d put a couple of picture`s up of a 5 acre wood that i have access too. I`d like to see some better ground cover in this wood to aid wildlife in general or would it be best left alone?
