  1. Going to be staying in Constantine, Cornwall for a few days next week. In Roger Deakins 'Wildwood' he writes about the Old Oak woods running along the Helford River. Just wondered if any of you local lads or indeed anybody else knows much about this area. Wheres best to drive to and then walk through the woods etc.....any help as usual much appreciated. Sean

    Tree Illusions

    doctored a bit? they are cool but lots of photoshop manipulation.
  20. Glad you like David. I dont often use a Tag line although I have done. Prefer taking a little bouncy bouncy ride when the limb finally goes:001_rolleyes: I'm always looking for new ways of fracturing. Have been playing with the X cut lately. 2 diagonal cuts with a ratio of about 70:30......seems to give a nice end to the rip which can then be manipulated further with the saw although quite often this can suffice.
  21. Here found on persian iron tree persica parrotia
  22. glad about that.....thats the idea:thumbup1:
  23. Cutting out dead boughs Mr Oakman....tut tut....hope it was in a hight target area:001_rolleyes:
  24. happy birthday mate......may your day be full of wood
  25. A job I did last week. The first photograph shows major limb failure from last year. (This is what all you coroneters and natural fracture merchants should be aspireing to!) The tree is riddled with Resinaceum pretty much girdling the tree. The limb above the failed limb has fractured substantially. Although in a small wood it has a desire line running past and is popular with walkers within Richmond Park. Spec was an average of 25% (lighter/heavier in places.) I know this work is a contentious subject which some of you will appreciate whilst others will hate. All comments however are welcome.
