To Coronet or Not to Coronet, now that is a question
Dan replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
Thanks Mr Humphries, The coronet in the final pic was the biggest and took about 25 mins, but I was in a picker with an 044. I wouldn't fancy doing it from a rope and harness. The others were easier as I could let them rip out then make a few extra cuts. The tree has AOD (early Stages). Otherwise no real decay other than the usual rotted out branch stubs. No bats, or nests. I did see a red kite land in the next tree over whilst I was eating my sarnies. Hopefully something will move in now. -

Hi folks I did a major reduction on this oak today because it was in the glide path of the planes near a runway. It is on forestry commision land and they wanted to retain it for habitat. What do you recon? -
fantastic, thanks for posting.

Bulk load of hardwood cord wanted near Robinhoods bay North Yorkshire.
Dan replied to Dan's topic in Firewood forum
Thanks Chris I'll look into it. -
Can anyone help please, I would like a good sized load of hardwood cord (upto 26t) delivered to the Robinhoods bay area of North Yorkshire. Good access, for drop off in a farmyard. Is there anyone out there that can do this or any ideas on who would be a good contact in the area? Thanks for any help Dan

Yes a six day course, starting by selecting a small ash tree to fell. then sixty hours of cutting shaping and whittling. hey presto, chair. Had a great time sleeping in the woods and getting back to nature.

I did a course with Mike Abbott earlier in the year and made this chair.

not sure of the tonnes, but i'd say it's a good arctic load. as for price all sensible offers will be considered, cheers

Hi arbtalkers, I did a nice little job on monday, felling 9 semi mature beech trees between Cambridge and Newmarket. The client wants to sell the wood if anyone is interested please PM me or call 07865399401. All the trees are roadside with good access, a telehandler may be available for loading if necessary. 2 stems have really nice spalting by the looks of it. Just wish I had time to mill it myself. Cheers Dan

I'm 6ft 8in and 15 stone. If I'm going out on something thin I just think of feathers, fairies and light summer breezes. Mind over matter. then again I've got a good reach so it's not such an issue.

I've been climbing 16 years now and have worked at few places that encourage using spikes whilst pruning, one of them was an established AA approved contractor! I never stayed very long with any of them. I've also used spikes for retrenchment pruning for the national trust, to encourge regrowth. As a rule tho I like the right tool for the right job. Tall trees/bad access, invest in a big shot.

cheers guys, i've been using linseed oil, but i'm thinking of trying grape seed oil for the next project as it seems to have a more subtle effect.
