Why not turn it round? Get the tree work yourself and sub a climber in, more lucrative, and you're in charge.

Agreed. As far as I can can see it's an advertisement, which is fine and all that, as long as it's posted as an advertisement.

Dawn redwood perhaps? Is it rare? Well, it's not native, not common certainly

The husky is a great saw, pro standard.

Don't forget, first the guy had to run to eastwatch, then a raven had to fly the other way, Dany had to put on that "winter" coat then do the return journey. Good stuff though.

We're all hoping for big babies....

Left handers are devil's spawn, here's how to deal with them!

Could be a tropical hardwood or just about anything if it came in on the tide. No reason to think it's British (or even European)

It's a old saw anyway, give it a go and tell us what happens.

You just sort of know after years and years of looking at trees.

Ash,

If you're planning on bringing the rest of it back to hedge height I'd give it a go. Young oaks are more resistant to heavy pruning than you might think. Was that the question?

Sure it's not processional oak caterpillars?

Crazy!

I rolled the rayco with the same engine, just replaced the air filter "mushroom" Put it on its side more times than I can remember. Just wait for the oil to go back down to the sump, start it up and crack on. yes, good looking conversion.
