    i wonder if visitors looking up at your tree will apreciate the work that went into it, i hope you get a mention on a wee plaque beside it mate. i think i was at that museum as a kid in 1981, i remember a massive slice of tree with dates on it, and we also went to one with 2 massive guns outside, i didnt want to go in because i saw my first ever chipper working in the park beside it(i was 6)lol

    i sell big bags(hardwood) for 50 quid inc vat, and if they bought 6 bags i will give them one free. this wood is unseasoned and the customer knows this, but next year when i have seasoned them(more handling) i will charge more or its not worth it

    i have witnessed better, a fall harness with a rope going from their back to the ground with someone holding it on the ground:confused1: i used to work in coal tankers, 100 feet deep clearing coal on the ladders. we had those crap harnesses, with a bungy type, safety strop with a huge carb. we used to jump off to see if they would work, all they did is was castrate you:ohmy:
