  1. I think trees, especially oaks and yews, can have bad centuries like we have a bad week, what decay in the base? that was surface and pretty superficial, and I will state despite knowing youll poss have a picus/resistagraph to back up the judgment in this? not digging you matt, just the process applied here to the reasoning, which is flawed IMO.
  2. the question is, how to you wake up the sheeple without being a "NUTTER":001_smile: I sometimes think these corps must push and push to see just how asleep they are!
  3. when an Oak is truly in a decline state the annual ring count reduces in the sapwood band, this looks pretty healthy wood, I think a poor judgment was made personaly
  4. Science is a relatively new way of thinking, before we trusted our intuition, and its way more valid than a 200 year old methodology!
  5. Just a heads up this thread is 2010material!, was just thinking about how uptight ive got of late and followed a sequence,led me here, must be on my tod too much or something!
  6. or work with a horse logger and preserve the soil a bit, then replant the site with some mixed native broadleaf! biomass is a massive market now and pop is pretty worthless otherwise. congrats on the good turn of fate, when you submit to it all and let go nature has a way of helping you find what you need:001_cool:

  10. never thought I would see one of those again, memories! mine was orange and yellow
  11. there is four machines being used in this, thats not going to be sustainable is it!
  12. lol good answer, but it wont make a difference, they will all have whats known as selective hearing!
  13. or multiple loading points and as you work your way through them you know odds are sooner or later one is the ONE that holds the gravity key!
  14. and I wouldnt have done any different:biggrin:
  15. careful lass, being arbs they may hear "hinges" wrongly!
  16. does anyone have a largethickneser you know of? got someash boards I need planing after warping/cupping
  17. Your right,in some regard, but WE control that energy, money.
  18. thats a big doc, had a quick scan of said pages:thumbup1:
  19. indeed, and it does at times become a little too heavy hence my at times and often distraught state as I learn the depths to which we sink with such things. Vandana shiva has scientifically proven that organic, bio diverse farming methods out yield GM and mono-cultures. the global food crisis will result because of the likes of the big corps and their blatant disregard for natural systems, not because of any real dangers, they will probably manufacture the problems and come forth with the solutions, like with this Bee thing.
  20. the tree or the fungus, the idents are correct, both probably to me suggestive that psuedomona (Horse chestnut bleeding canker) has been and done some serious damage
  21. I am having a tough time believing that man has achieved anything good when we kill for oil and rape the environment, kind of outwieghs any positive effects of our existence IMO
