Nice! Did that have you coughing and spluttering?

It wasn't too bad. Everything but everything was covered in a green/yellow dust.

Awesome 

Thanks Steve. It's been a while since I've been on here, can I put a vid up? I've never seen pollen like it. 

Hope this is the right place to post. Pic of a blue atlas cedar take down today. Pollen!!!!

Because they send Tree Officers out to look at them and supposedly action their repair. that explains a lot...

 

I'm sure most tree officers have got better things to do!!

its all your fault then!!??

A couple of years ago i took a Yew tree down for a Woman i have known for many years...She has always commented how she wished she'd kept a piece of it....i did and made this for her. The three stages.It's a suprise for her tommorow.

Well done. Very nice, I'm sure she'll love it. Great idea.

That's one large sycamore. Must have been some age. I don't suppose you counted the rings?
Is the wood traditionally used for butchers blocks? I didn't know that. I assumed it would be beech.
I've read that sycamore was often used for kitchen utensils. On account of not tainting the food, being stain resistant, straight grained and easy to carve. I used it to make a large spatula, it worked well for that.

Sorry for late reply!!!

stick still standing. Only go for a couple of days a month and always something more pressing to get on with other than drop it!!

will try and count rings at stump level.....

one day!!

£3,000. 

You can keep the logs to. ?

Whereabouts is it? I have a chainsaw mill that could do with some exercise if it's not too far and I am not a million miles from Steve.

It's in Northamptonshire. Unfortunately in a large private estate. Whatever my ideas, thoughts about lots of amazing timber they have, it's theirs. Mostly reduced to firewood. 

If I get one which I get to keep, I'll try and keep you posted. Some customers these days don't want hard wood logs. Not many!!

please tell me that the stem is still available to be milled?

I wish it could be. It was hard enough getting pickup and chipper in. Mobile saw mill might struggle and access to remove a lump is impossible. Sad but logs it is. 

Don't know if right place to post but a few pics of a take down done by us last month. h

hi

just wondered how much the trailer could hold, legally

does it tip to the side?

is log splitter included in price?

how old is the trailer/crane?

thanks.

looks a useful bit of kit.

i know of one near sunningdale? close enough?

hi all,

thanks in advance.

just wondered if anyone knows of a place to tip a couple of ton of chip(mixed) and softwood logs. in or near Pewsey, Wiltshire.

anything has got to be better than £50 +vat!!

thanks again.

Having not logged on for a while, your post on the 6th of May blew me away Sean.

As someone already said tears of mixed emotions.

Glad you sneaked out into the woods!!

Keep strong for the daily battles and enjoy each little victory.

Truly an inspiration.

Love and best wishes to you and your family.

A lot of these are the equivalent of cutting off the branch you are sitting on.

 

sure some off those must be set up but some are defiantly not, poor bu**ers. Darwin awards spring to mind. never like seeing people hurt themselves though. we all make mistakes as well. some we get away with some we don't.

chainsaws and ladders and an inexperienced user......

Not so lucky
