    If I had the kit, I would mill it. But for now, I have some lumps of beech, fairly good size that are up for grabs if anyone wants them. The base section is pretty rotten, the other two sections both measure 9' or over and are about 2.5-3' diameter. The tree had fallen across a slope so could only get it out in 3 sections despite the 14 tonne machine and chain.

    Great log grab on the Avant. Am jealous.

    A few bits and pieces this week. Some jelly ear (wood ear) and rot within a large beech that came down in the recent storms.

    What were the results of the Picus Steve, if of course you can tell us.

    Was thinking sessile as a guess. Or a hybrid again. Initially thought the leaves looked a bit like Q. cerris. But may be combination of a couple. Oaks are pretty amazing in that the leaves on one tree can all be different sizes and look quite different.

    Nice, what about some photies

    Massive mate! That’s great. I am beginning to get the idea that there could be something in this milling. [emoji16]

    Amaze balls as they sometimes say. Very nice indeed, your doing that with a saw and a guide type mill or a big milling machine?

    The new Ego 18" chainsaw arrived today. Very nice indeed for a battery chainsaw and good balance as well. I will also probably pursue getting the 14" makita as a back up for smaller jobs. I think have as many saws as you can get and if you can throw in some battery ones for ease of starting and use on the ground then all the better. To start milling though I am going to need to get myself a monster by the looks of it.

    Good job. Do you deal with the Wealden District Council or Mid Sussex? What sort of planning did you need to get? Had two Greylags on our pond this morning, a nice change.
  11. AJStrees
    Thanks. Yes I did wonder how the stihl would fit on the husqvarna. Thanks for the photos.

    The Makita battery ones are pretty good. EGO are about to launch their 18" battery saw with 20m/s chainspeed which is pretty good price and their batteries last a good while too. They are definitely cheaper than stihl and husqvarna and while not a big named brand apart from their recent explosion onto the market.
  13. AJStrees
    Yes your right. I had a look into this a while ago and put in an application for trapping.
  14. AJStrees
    Probably. Mostly carp and rud/roach from what I have seen.
  15. AJStrees
    Okay. will give it a go. I know we have them as I have seen coming out of the water. I think probably it is the non-native crayfish that has ended up in our pond. But I will try out the 5 litre bottle trick.
  16. AJStrees
    I think if I am not mistaken, the carp eat the spawn, though I could be wrong. We have a lot of carp in our pond and probably the old crayfish too. This may or may not be why we have no frogs.

    Are you able to send a photo of the Stijl bar and chain on the husqvarna top handle you are using. Would be good to see how it fits on
  18. AJStrees
    Sounds smashing something to do when it’s raining. Sounds like some small investment may be needed
  19. AJStrees
    What do you sell the boards for price wise?
  20. AJStrees
    What saw do you use on the mill, I’m guessing it’s gotta be big
  21. AJStrees
    for a fair bit of cash, lawnflite mowers top end commercial are brilliant. The only thing is they are pretty darn heavy, but otherwise they are proper commercial and do a great cut wet or dry to be fair.
  22. AJStrees
    You've actually got frogs. That's good news. Sounds like its making a difference to the biodiversity. Great project.
  23. AJStrees
    Very nice pond there mate.
  24. AJStrees
    Very nice. What's the wildlife activity like with your new pond?

    I have a husqvarna battery strimmer. However last year we bought the new Ego powerhead strimmer. Its extremely light but perfect for lawn edging. All of the power is down at the head rather than up at the battery end and just for extra fun it also coils up your strimmer cord with the push of a button. Its also not that pricey. Husqvarna battery stuff is pretty pricey. Have you used any Ego stuff? I have a bunch of their stuff and am quite surprised at how well it works and price is pretty good too. Try this link here. I was pretty impressed at how well it was balanced and also how quiet, easy to control when doing edges and pretty powerful for a battery strimmer.
