needles in 2's. all the needles upturn bit like the tips of hanging ash tree branches. ghostly kinda grey green. probably distinctive, when you know it!

go on rob, stick your neck out! not going back for a while. give us a few to google as its not in my books.....i was kinda counting on you!
-
saw this pine today - i dont recognise it. it is kinda graceful, needles scots pine colour~ish, fasicles with two upturned needles. this is probably more helpful than the pictures! sorry - rubbish phone cheers

blow me!
i think that sounds familiar! Well kind of passed- i got 41% in both the 2nd and 3rd years and smirklingly accepted a degree that i understood nothing about and wasnt that interested in!!! we werent social as i remember but we were on first names i think. Do you remember Chris Greenfield, Paul Ballard, Paul Dodd, Katrina Jones? Pete Bartell-smith? Still mates with them. Katrina's a flipping airline pilot!
Left uni, odd jobs/travelled, conservation work, arb proper last few years. I'm in north devon, elbow to elbow with all the others up here. we've got one tree each.
small world mate!

Hi Rob,
just been watching your alaskan demo video on arbtalk tonight. This will sound weird but did you study engineering at bath uni - i think i recognised you? if you did it would be a mad coincidence that we both ended up in arb!!!!! By the way i will get a mill off you at some point
All the best whover you are, Mark.

the ones who arent pleased to meet my pooch are in a serious minority. Mind you she's a bit of a flirt.....

Almost a tenous mr! Never seen Robinsons - will do. I'm visiting my aunt in Leominster at some point in the new year. So is that why superdry is called superdry?!? Even the link to Dunkerton's cant change what i think of superdry clothing:ahhhhh:

cornish rattler is one of the best reasons for living in Devon. Best i ever had tho came from Dunkertons in Herefordshire. Made my own this year which is quaranteed to be awful

you never really know a tree till youve climbed it...Hahar!...no idea
-
yea nice mr, jazzeee. how do you do the turkwize bits?
-
hey tell us what you know! unless this is for the youngsters among us...

have found jones' are good for purchases, untried on after sales but i have found both Abbey Pro and Stanton Hope *loody outstanding on after sales and most places will price match anyway
-
interesting hama - when it comes to pruning pops is there ever a case for leaving stubs on smaller stuff to help compartmentalise/barrier etc?
-
this is a bit optimistic by chrimbo mr. wood seasons an inch a year in the air plank it stack it season it ripsaw it to width thickness it to depth rout it for rebate for glass, pic and backing mitre it sand it wrap it drying it by the fire is a bit quick! splits all over the place, unless you want to call it rustic

YAWN chief safety officer mcautiousness here thinks thats pretty lame! Agree with robarb about leaving a few branches either on the ground or on the stem, also shallower gob for a flatter landing would have got a 10. or even a wide gob + phatish hinge at the base to keep attachment/absorb torque. basic stuff, several better options. that said if this 'confidence' keeps this guy alive its probably a good thing

mental! bud's for life

blimey tommer if it has to all be heartwood and squared up then you are talking massive surely, but you seem to have the trees already in mind, so its probably the big ones! short of climbing up, topping them off and having a look i dunno mr!

once i walked out the kitchen door to see a barn owl sat in the barn opposite, looking at me. so for a laugh i put my hand up and it swooped down.....awestruck and feeling a bit dr dolittle, i left my hand out to meet this coming together of man and beast. of course it sank its talons deep in for stability and i dropped the poor thing on the floor! it forgave me and we did the trick a few times to show off to friends, with a gauntlet. the pain was then bearable. it stuck around for a month but then did a littlest hobo and moved on. maybe cos the chickens beat the hell out of it. must have been a rescue/escapee. awesome sight out hunting at dusk.

looks like an old pruning cut - just goes to show wildlife likes bad tree surgery. awesome shot sir

remember the feeling. its a very worthy pursuit. agricultural land is expensive now, especially for small acreages. i have a 3.5 acre plot with about an acre of alder 'carr'. not that interesting! i really need to get the grassland grazed to maintan the mixed flora. have planted an orchard and a block of new woodland. all good this the sort of ting you wanna do? it might make good financially to buy a large plot and sell off most of it, but who can afford that!? for a smallholder withonly a small plot i guess it makes sense to keep the pigs mainly on grassland and let them go in part of the woodland.....? then you gotta get planning permission for any buildings, hardstanding, relandscaping etc. if its already got a building, you'll pay more for it
-
surely the pull line went slack after a few degrees. its a very nice neat little jump but how does the line help? was it tensioned near the butt? awesome belly flop
-
whatever you decide just remember you get what you pay for! something around the 40-45cc mark would do you. 15/16inch bar. theres a pretty reasonable tanaka, went on for ages the one i had, and abused for about five years. now a mate has it and its still going i believe. if it wasnt for the hand vibration stuff id still be using it.

does sound nice. can you add anything to how they benefit the wood - i always thought they were pretty destructive at anything less than minimal stocking densities?
