So in and around my home town pretty much every ash of any size has been felled in the last month it's changed the outlook of some areas ,you don't realise how many ash there were till they're gone .I understand ash dieback is taking hold ,but this just seems drastic. I understand there's no stopping the infection,  but it's quite saddening to see all these ash just disappear so soon

Horrible looking things  as Harvey b says just a defender by name , look like a jeep

He’s just looking for advice Khriss. 
 

I have opined before about how industry bodies don’t offer any sort of guidance on how various trees react to pruning, just some old blather about ‘doing as little as possible’ Or ‘felling and removing with a more suitable species‘

 

 

Or the biggest laugh, referring to BS3998.

 

 

 

Well done  mick, a hornbeam will tolerate  getting hit hard 

Why did you buy another forst,  if you were already having issues with the first one ???

Tipmaster are  quality and very expensive

Do you ever get emails from people trying to blackmail you about your porn history, saying they saw you through the camera and will send footage to all your FB friends?

 

Bullshit of course.

Looks like 5 Shires is really determined to prove us all wrong! ?

No he won't,  because in the next two days I won't be shifting that ash tree , I'll  be home by 3 at the latest and after wages earn't more than they will

Oh well , from 1200 to 3500 at least the client knows he could do a bit of haggling for cash now.

It would take me less then a day to get that down I can guarantee ?

All well and good, but we're all running business's,  it's not a competition,  

So saying a decent climber would get it down in day and charging 12 -1400 ,yes you would ,but the trees worth double that , and that price is just devaluing the industry we're all trying to make a living from

Surely if everyone had that train of thought ( better not replant because ganoderma was present in the vicinity  ) then not many trees would get planted. 

Yeah it certainly took some Time , I did have a bit of ago with a sanding disc on a drill,  I then put the drill in a vice and screwed the bowl to the disc and sanded by hand with the bowl spinning,  but they're the first to I've made so pretty pleased with the result.

No lathe, just a ms 150 using the tip of the bar and then sanded them and yes birch it is , amazed at the colour they ended after a good oiling

So I made these with a 150 and dug the centre's out and then a lot of sanding ,surprised by the colour they ended .any ideas what timber ? I know, I took it down
