Yes they are ****, I borrowed 3 off an estate I do work for (they caught none in 18months) I caught 1 in a year. Fenn traps are the best, but I only had success with them after a few pointers from an old boy called Jigger who contributes to Red Squirrel magazine and does squirrel control on Sotterley Estate in Suffolk, he trapped and shot well over 1000 in his first year there, on about 200acres of wood, and you'd be hard pressed to spot one there now!

An old tea urn or similar works well, with a pipe 3 or 4 " (depending on how big you want t go) from the lid to a chamber (that thick, ribbed 12" land drain pipe is good for the chamber chamber) at a slight angle with a small drain hole underneath at bottom to drain excess water and a small hole at top to stop it pressurising if you got a good seal on the system. I can't see why you couldn't steam bone oak (I presume you mean bits like off 'stag head' oaks?) would just take a lot longer to become pliable. Last time I did it was yes ago so no pics I'm afraid Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's rife everywhere in EA, I've really noticed ashs decline over the last couple of years particularly when felling in coppice (where ash crowns used t bounce nicely when they hit the deck they now shatter) and starting to see more bramble etc under what were denser canopies due t thinning crowns. In my own wood I was relying on its seed for vigorous natural regen when I remove conifers but 99% of the seedling die within 3yrs[emoji45] Norfolk CC have just taken on a friend of mine as part of an "ash dieback team" they've set up to survey/tackle the 'situation' Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Matelot? although I can see why you could mix him n waspyjane up[emoji3] I have no problem wearing company shirts when subbing as long as they're clean (preferably new) but I don't think it necessarily mean your hiring a quality firm, I've worked for and known some arborists etc who drove ropey old trucks n wore raggedy ol trousers wi Kevlar hanging out (they looked more like a moulting sheep) who were well qualified, dedicated and efficient then I've seen a couple of crews who have all the matching hi viz flash new truck n shiny chipper etc and they were just..... **** Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

A friend of mine rescues bull breeds, he has a staffy that was rescued as a pup from an abandoned house where it had eaten all its siblings to survive, he's a lovely dog but attack tree trunks randomly, if he gets the opportunity. It's usually smaller trees but he will go for bigger trunks like in your pictures. He has not been trained/encouraged to do this Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
