Could be a result of the bark being peeled off?

On the plus side, no more T-shirt tan! The back, sack and crack is a pain though!
-
Yes, but chainsaw proof budgie smugglers!
-
Pinched in a cut eh? Sounds like poor workmanship to me! Leave this job to the professionals, sonny
-
Nice one Clive! You mentioned that you would let me have a couple of bowls in exchange for the tree, any idea when I could pick them up?
-
Really cool to actually see a tree I've cut down being used for something other than firewood!
-
When you say milling it up, does that mean cutting it into planks or is it a general term for processing the wood? Sent from my D5503 using Arbtalk mobile app

Ahh yes, very handy place, that!! Sent from my D5503 using Arbtalk mobile app

Only does the transport. Sent from my D5503 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yeah, might do a bit of fiddling and stick it on my website! The lorry belongs to a guy called Alex, AWA transport. Top fella!

Come on grandad, you're worrying about nothing. Just use a stihl bottle with the measure at the top so you get the right mix!

Hi Clive, tried to send pic in email but not sure if you got it. Here is one of me putting the log on the lorry Sent from my D5503 using Arbtalk mobile app

It would help if I waited for the pics to finish up loading before clicking post! Lets try that again!

Afternoon all, thought this might tickle someones fancy. This Walnut is in a customer of mines garden and is looking to get something made from it, including a table top if possible. She is also interested in learning a bit about wood turning. Any suggestions? Location is near Hampton Court, Surrey. Cheers...Phil

Been following this discussion with interest as looking for a pick up myself. I notice no-one has mentioned the new Ford Ranger which I think can also tow 3.5t. Anyone got an opinion on the Ranger?

As title says, I'm looking for a subby climber for occasional days, probably a couple a week. PM or call me if interested. Cheers..Phil
-
Hi Tony, just curious...how can you tell it's strip canker and not an old lightening strike? Cheers...Phil

Hi Swampster, I've exactly the same situation with a customer of mine. The tree is smaller than yours, but blocking the front lounge window. I've told them that it's worth trying to reduce it and retain it as a smaller tree, but warned them that it might die as a result. A case of nothing to lose, I think.
-
Could there be a connection between the lack of moss and weeds in the grass and the health of the tree?
-
Put an ad up in the employment section

Hi Greenhorn, if you've never done a crown reduction before, I would seriously think of starting on something smaller. Get an experienced subby climber in and learn from them. If you don't know what your doing you could easily end up spoiling the look of this tree. If you do decide to try it, good luck!

Hi Al, when I worked for a company in Reading they used to use Terranova. I did a couple of jobs with them and seemed pretty good. Was a few years ago, though. Phil

Good to see little Benji is as camp as ever!
-
Couldn't agree more! I've become more and more disappointed with mine. Turn it off for a couple of minutes and it needs to be choked to start, very spluttery at first. Was hoping it was going to be a good replacement for the 200

I currently have some in a vase full of woodchip in my kitchen that I rescued from a stump I was grinding. Going to fill a hollow log up with chip and re-home them Sent from my D5503 using Arbtalk mobile app
