  1. If they were pruned at all I would have thought a sawmill would take them.

     

    They must be well past their prime now if they were Briant and May planting from the 70s.

     

    Several mills used to take poplar for coffin boards and for cable drums (it being generally too weak for pallets) but it's 30 years since I sold any to Barchards, you could see if Chantler Timber still have outlets.

    If I understand you correctly you have been claiming 60% of the council tax of your home for the portion used for business, if so be very wary as when you come to sell the business portion will not be allowed against any capital gain.

    ( Summat to do with kickback ? Cant remmebr -was a long time ago )

    In the position he is it's not a big problem because if he were unable to control the kickback his hand would be struck by the front guard and trigger the brake. The problem is more pronounced when felling when the hand is on the side of the front handle, if the saw kicks back  th e hand falls toward the bar. At least he is wearing gloves.

     

    Many of us do it with no consequences  but it remains a practice that will cause a candidate to fail an assessment. A bit like YO YO starting.
