if thats salix alba get it on the ATF!

Crikey, youll go far, dont sell yourself short. I really hope someone on here gives you a leg up mate, if you was down here I would.

Looking good, Nice lead David, new one on me hence the troubled fung hunter! shall now have a root about and try to define which one, there are 8 apparently

David, what do you make of this odd little fellow! i think host was a red oak stump, felled to halo that oak in my vet thread last post. Panic fruiting is obvious, but despite the perenniporia like flesh and colour and obvious panic, what about them pores? now I think this needs sending to Martyn, got it in my bag! Not much gets me, but Perenniporia with massive pores?

Heres a few from today, anyone spot mr foxy in the last one! shame I had my chance but didnt get there in time, you can just make out his little face in the long grass:thumbup1: almost had an adder today as well!

Found it under the car seat today all wrapped up and forgotten! lol its on route!

I would say with some certainty due to form ganoderma lipsiense=applanatum

Yes you could say that:001_smile:

ha ha ha ha, just noted your post counter! lol somebody is pulling your leg me old mucka!

they wont let you fell that without a report, not if the TO has any sense.

11 years aint enough, what else you been doing with that arm jammy! lol elbows will be my end, tennis AND golfers elbow from time to time, never played in my life, but also starting to feel a little carpel tunnel potential too now:thumbdown:

I wouldnt mind betting not only is it burred but also going to brown too. it has that characteristic fistulina tar spotting. it is going to be a very pretty slab!

about right! lot of vested interests herein. Can somebody point out ALL products that Stein released BEFORE they had been done elswhere, as that is the essence of innovation.

This is an interesting question, the sort of skill and knowledge that is being rapidly lost too. Im off out in a mo (hatfield house ancient oak woods) but I might suggest looking up italian french methods and also the herring and trout smokers in the Uk

rabbits

naturally! shall reserve it for our return to mecca sometime.

I thought of you when Billberry schnapps was mentioned!

ha, I have earned this trip! i never get out of old blighty!

bet thats a big deal package!

Ive heard its a great meat

some of you guys need to sort it out, a free tip site is not to be nocked, and even if YOU dont want to unload for free some in fact many WILL, so if you have nothing osative to input, ......

Thanks guys. Some seem to try very hard to detract from the work of Claus Mattheck, but take my word for it if you take the time to understand it all deeply and not just take a shallow overview of it all youll see that it all has a very deeply significant contribution to make to our daily lives as arborists. Even yesterday I discovered yet another way in which force cone thinking has altered my thinking and sense of forces. i was doing my IPAF 1 B training and we got onto the subject of setting up a mewp on a banke that had been worked. It was Claus and his teachings in force cones that enabled me to converse and communicte my understanding of the placement and forces applied by the footprint/outriggers of a MEWP on such a zone. These thinking tools Shear squares, tensile triangles and force cones are VERY significant and will enable all to understand forces in a way that becomes intuative and natural. follow the Claus miester, he is the guvnor:thumbup1: Came here to post a link to a new claus vid !

I thought that was normal:lol: oh yes thats just me!

They are threatening with dragging me over there NZ/Aus they think I will be out of my depth! ha ha ha Wait till I get out to the amazon, that will be awesome

Hama is off to Romania as part of the leonardo da vinci project in a few weeks, shall have much to show an tell you all, this is going to be epic!
