An essential piece of kit if you're one of Dr Evil's henchmen.

Good to see this thread is still going strong:thumbup:

Hi Alistair, Sorry for the derail everyone. Would you be able to get a jcb or crane out there and see if you can pull them straight out. I realise suction would be an issue. Where is it and what is their fate once removed? Sounds like a lot of usable wood going for grabs.

That's cool As said, it's more descriptive and may cause the public to pay more attention.

Hi Mark, I joined twitter about a month ago and TBH it's a pretty useful platform for free advertising. I'm still finding my way round it but I have it linked to my facebook page, my blog and website. If your customers tweet, and say how fantastic you are, you'd be surprised how far that can spread and all for free.

Good post:thumbup1: I've seen his work before, incredible talent.

Yes ditto, I like the faces too. It's a pity they didn't leave you a bit more to work with. Was it an after thought once the tree was taken down?

Hi Ashes, I would say about the same as firewood TBH, whatever that would be. £20-30 maybe with delivery. Suppose it depends on whether they are mates or customers. Can't tell from the pic but it looks pretty green, do they know it will open up ? May cause an issue with their flooring too if it's got plenty of moisture in it. They could use those plant pot feet to stand it off the floor. In fact if you supplied it with some nice ones you could charge a little bit more. I think if you had a well seasoned log you could rightly charge a lot more but that would need several years to season. Hope this helps, Si

Hi Matty, I'd love them all but postage would be a bit pricey I reckon. Certainly interested in the smaller ones if you could post them. I'll PM you mate.

Sorry but on seeing the title I couldn't help but think of Harry Hill:001_smile:

That's really nice:thumbup1: I've a thing for hares, rabbits and foxes. There's an ancient earthy mythology about them:001_smile:

Cheers buddy

Probably best to ignore this as I don't fell trees, but can you not climb up the tree, lower yourself on your climbing gear level with felling height and put a gob in with a pole saw?

I'd recommend her neighbours plant some fast growing leylandii to replace the tree that is blocking her light . You get paid, she gets what she wants, and the neighbours in time get to envelope her property in vast dark shadows MWAHAHAHARR!

Hi Harry, Originally about 2 - 3" and as round as possible but will happily have anything from 1 -4 " as well if I can. Thanks, Si

Very eloquently put Kim, and probably nearer the mark Yes sometimes the work doesn't equate to the time and effort spent on it and you have to charge less or risk losing a sale/commission. Like you said charge what you are comfortable with. The £180 -200/day rate for schools is a recognised national standard for community art and that is why I quoted it, I think it's an area of work that you can rely on having a guaranteed a fixed rate whatever you are doing, carving or workshops. Cheers, Si

BUMP:biggrin: Hi folks, thanks again for the early responses but I'm still looking for small round burry nodules. Please get in touch if you have or happen upon some Cheers, Si

Ok then I'll take a punt. Going rate for an artist, say working a 7hr day in a school project would be £180-200 plus costs. This is dependant on experience and flair, some will work for much less, some will demand a higher rate. 3 main factors I would go with are: 1 How good you are/think you are:sneaky2: If you can carve a decent owl then you won't feel bad charging decent money for it 2 How long you think it will take If you can carve quickly and decisively then you'll make more money per day, if you work slower or waste time scratching your chin (guilty)then you'll end up working longer for less. 3 Your overheads Overheads will be the same I would imagine as day job. I would say as long as you can produce a decent carving you can't be far off with your usual arb rate, your time is exactly that whatever you're doing. Good luck with it Si

Waiting with baited breath!

Crikey Sean, This really needs to be verified. Do you know it's exact location? Fake or not it's a great image:thumbup:
