Use for White Poplar other than second rate firewood?
Graham replied to clique2's topic in General chat
Yes it's good taking loading impacts. Probably make it useful for workbench tops too. -
It's a pretty common method used by small builders. Nothing really wrong with it I suppose but not my cup of tea.
-
Cheers. I'll update on how the saw performs.

I've just bought a new saw for this season. Thought about a MS200 but went for an Echo CS390. I've been using it on some firewood to loosen it up. Pulled out the spark arrestor and sharpened the chain and it flies for a little 'un. Very pleased thus far. My first match is tomorrow and both days next weekend then commercial cutting starts on the 11th so will have a better idea then. http://grahamteecehedgelaying.com/

We used to fish in France a lot and a mate of mine became very adept at removing them. He used a pair of fine-tipped artery forceps and quickly twisted them out. Often the tick would attach itself in a warm place adjacent to 'man bits'. It seems every day he had a new patient outside his bivvy waiting to be called in for a removal! The ticks were relentless.

Thought it was. I'll pull myself together :-)

I'm worried now! I've had about ten latch on to me. One in the US and the rest in France and Spain. I pulled them all off before they swelled up and have never noticed a rash. As for symptoms for a long time I've ached, sore joints and often feeling lethargic but I put it all down to getting older. Is a test available from your local GP?

1943 and two fallers facing a tree for felling.

Local to me but 1920. Love these old photos. Quite a team there.

Like Ginkgo it's the only representative of its genus. It was named as a fossil specimen which was once common in the Northern hemisphere. It was only discovered as a living specimen in 1944 in China. Every tree growing now is a descendant of those few trees.

I do remember my dad telling me about these. Our local town high st was dug up in the 30s and he said it was made from wooden blocks covered in tar.

As mentioned before....there's no value in goodwill. The goodwill leaves as soon as you do. I sold a tree business but that came with confirmed LA work plus the kit. The value of the business is yourself. Better to sell the kit and walk away.

Look after the sides and the middle will look after itself.

....and always face in the direction you want to go before you fill it.

If it's true I'm glad they have. Causing major problems in the world's oceans.
-
Well my mind's made up. Looks like the crank's knackered as well. Have to find a new hobby
-
Always more to learn. I've stripped enough over the years but I just can't decide whether it's worth the parts cost to still have a saw that's 25yo. I never could come to a decision
-
Stripped down an old 026 I've had from new to see whether it's worth a rebuild. It's 25 years old and apart from general maint has never had a spanner on it. Plenty of play in crank bearings, bit low on compression etc. Will need new rubbers, sprocket, bearings, seals, piston and other little bits and pieces. Is it worth spending for a saw that's not in its prime or just put the money to a new one? It's been a fantastic saw and I just don't want to scrap it but a couple of hundred quid seems silly.

Sorry about the blank page. The variegation is too well defined for deficiency. Try googling chimaera variegation which is probably what this is.
-
There's no deficiency there. Further research would seem to confirm what I thought only far better able to explain. It's fairly common. http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Horticulture/Geneve/teaching/plantpropwebpages/geneticselection/geneticchimera.pdf
-
Could be or a mutation in the meristem which is at the edge of developing tissue. At this point I can no longer remember much from college so that's about it from me
-
Variegation can be caused by a few things inc. virus, cell mutation etc. Because yours show the same symptoms on two different spp then I would think it is not variegation. It is more likely to be mineral deficiency that's caused by: a) lack of that nutrient in the soil or b) nutrients being locked in the soil and unavailable for uptake. Road salt in small amounts can lock nutrients and this may be the case here.
-
No not sure but it's the closest I can think of.

Cornus kousa.

Here's one I did: 14" dia, most of top taken out and a mere sliver of wood to keep it alive. You won't kill it. [ATTACH]222524[/ATTACH]
