My old man has had one dumped at the back of the shed where its been for years. I fired her up about 10 years ago and she started no problem. (Bar bloody noisy). Ive just brought a alaskan mill, I have a ms880, 066 (both rarely used) and ms660 am i best off using the 090? Ill post pictures tomorrow!

About 7- 8 years I go I used to help carry out inspections with a bat specialist within there habitat and also in the bat boxes we installed. It was a great feeling when you open up the boxes and they had bats in!!! Well done, its good fun, interesting and all well worth it!

I think this looks evil.

Found this Oak at the bottom of a golf course in Hellidon (Daventry) Its noted in there field walk guide Just thought Id share

And it felt good too!

We quoted to remove this tree a few months ago and explained to the client how heavily decayed at the base and it would fail soon and trash one of the cars below. They left it and as we turned up in the morning the bloke just said 'DONT SAY A WORD'

Presuming no one posts her any more but, Nice one Joe! I used to work over Rugby all the time (8 years ago ish, for a contractor you know). It is one of the worst places in the country ive seen, nearly every pruned tree either crown pollarded or pollarded (not by me ). When you leave Daventry and enter the Dunchurch/Rugby area you realise how the landscape changes with most homes owning hedges, trees and the landscape is dominated by mature trees. Keep up the good work! oddly Im over there this week so hope things have changed rather than the usual sticks in the air! For the size of the place the tree work over there is appalling. Least there's the good ones out there like you showing them how it should be done,

You are the king of knowledge!!!

Most of the canopies had a inonotus bracket visible higher up the main stem but that ash had formation over the surface roots and tighter to the base was this.

Sorry David Was in the middle of writing a quote to a Tony stubbings and was rushing to pick my Mrs up from work.... (just got home now)Whats the yellowish furry matter on the second Ash? Yes next time Im unsure I will break a section! Your always the best of help Cheers

Cheers Tony I was waiting for your reply lol This one was covered in them

And this was on the base of another! any ideas?

Can somebody positively ID this for me? On the base of an Ash Thanks

Thanks for the helpful replies! Ill advise the client of the identification and helpful input. By the size of the bracket/ and there is 2 straight lines on the top (looks like somebody has previously been removing the suckers with a silky) how long has it been there? I think the previous occupants of the property knew it was there as it had been pollarded a few years ago!
