If you put him 2 bags in his boot then where were the logs he stole ?

What is the height and age of the tree ? has it realy been that hot in your neck of the woods ?
-
What would you charge for just doing 1 ? I have looked at jobs this way in the past and then worked from there. I have a price in on felling 40 conifers for £1200 with the waste being stacked up for the owner to burn, the nearest other price was £3000 and that was for removing all the waste, its not only the price that gets the job but also the plan of attack
-
I looked at a job felling conifers but they were so close together that I couldnt do a number count, I ended up doing the job on day rate and it worked out better for me. you might not earn as much on day rate but at least you know what each day will earn you

Ill take this opportunity to air an idea that I've had for a while so the masses on here can debate it. When my old man produced chestnut fencing stakes he placed the pointed end in the fire, the heat shut the pores and prevented them from drawing moisture up and rotting. Could a small ammount of localised heat shut the pores and prevent bleeding?
-
If you,ve got a saw bench then you could cut a tongue and groove, or a loose tongue that way the face of the join can be tickled up with a sanding block and the join will have double the surface area for strenght
-
You,ll have to let it bleed out nothing I know of that you can do. There is a train of thought that the bleeding can help the limb heel without infection, But you may want to check on that yourself

Prune back to healthy wood remove all waste, not sure about the oxy stuff
-
I dont think this warm weather would dry them out, My guess would be shot hole

Nice to see you back on here Butler even if you do talk rubbish

Im probably to late with my input but to help prevent the top from cupping have the two boards with the growth rings on one board smiling and the growth rings on the other plank frowning (if you catch my drift) this pust the forces in opposition and the top has less chance of ending uo as a trough. A good sand and sealer will help keep the wood stable:thumbup:
