Can i cut this without killing it?
Woodcrafter replied to Magnolia's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Yes I also agree with Mick. Also most uk trees are shallow rooted. I'd remove the stem and carve an up yours finger into it for a laugh. Tree would prob ended up with an asbo. -
I'm having to look at http://www.stovetopfan.co.uk/ as I have limited space between the stove and the lintel. Does anyone else have one of these? Otherwise I'm thinking of changing the legs on the stove so as I can get a more common size fan in but not sure if I should through insurance purposes against manufacturers instructions etc.

Does look a little suspect doesn't it.

Hi all looking for a chipper around the 5k mark preferably a tw150. I had a 98 entec which I did love but ended sliding into a full time position and not working for myself and sold it. I want to kick it all off and try again.

Type of hedge dependant and if you are going to use your saw then I would personally leave a stub cut back to a node. Hoping that, that would send out some new growth. Target pruning is a more professional approach showing that you care about the well being of the tree allowing it to regrow and occlude the wound.

Thuja if wanting coniferous as if it's let go it stands a fair chance with a hefty hair cut. Laurel for cost and same as said above. Preferences for me are a nice tight yew, hornbeam or beech. Especially when both sides can be trimmed tapered in at the top.

Exactly and if it's a clear cut case that the hedge is in your clients garden and the neighbour has cut it. It's a case of photographing what's been done ie. Cuts and perhaps a view of the hedge. There won't need to be anymore evidence than this to be passed onto a solicitor it's simple it's in there garden and the neighbour has trespassed caused criminal damage or vandalism and dependant upon timber size possibly stolen if any wood of value has been taken (not that there is much value in small hedge tops). It might be a good idea to quote for rectification but not actually carry out the works until they've been to court if they wish to pursue.

Confused can't see where it says anything about an open crack. Which theory are you referring too?
-
Yes I agree to I think by all means price and carry out any remedial works and document the damage been caused take before and after photos to support the clients case If the wish to pursue it legally but as said legally they are only entitled to cut back overhang to boundary line. It's a job for a solicitor. You can give them your photos and reasons for remedial work.

The problem I see here is that if the steel bracing has been supporting the limb tightly for 5 years that there's potentially a reasonable amount of growth weight over the time it's been installed. As it's already installed any damage has been done, so I'd just inspect the bolts and occlusion. I'd put in a support rope and undo the cable if it was really tight (likely) I'd let the support rope release gently and gauge what's happening at the attachment point and redo up the cable if it is still extremely taught when removing the support rope, I'd probably do a light reduction to remove some of the weight. If it's been supporting it all this time the tree will have concentrated on optimising it's crown getting bigger and not necessarily putting any energy into adaptive regrowth and strengthening at the week attachment point. This is where in some cases a non invasive brace could have been more beneficial from the beginning. I wouldn't do a straight swap.

Chainsaw training when physically disabled
Woodcrafter replied to ccharlie's topic in Training & education
Cool nice one. Exciting times send us some pics of your progress. I'm sure there would be some volunteers willing to help out around your woodland and maybe offer you some basic training. I know I would try if I was local. Good luck hope it all goes well. -
What's your favourite sandwich filling?
Woodcrafter replied to Darrin Turnbull's topic in The Lounge
Yep Roast beef and horse radish. -
That's nice it's at least a £300 piece as a fair price.
-
Nice to hear from you Sean Glad to see you've got yourself some decent wheels looks cool. Hope you get a chance to get some nice autumnal shots when your out and about. Take care dude hope to meet you one day Perhaps a little chainsaw carving maybe.

My little witch.

Defo agreed. "Bell metal" hahaha love it.

Looks great nice work.

I'd go with the draw not being good enough look into extending your flu or something that helps the draw. If you using dry kindling and paper or a firelighter you shouldn't be having this problem. If the wood was wet you could understand but it just sounds like there's not enough air movement.
