Or are you referring to the picture Andrei posted?

Are we again referring to the Oak? I can assure you they were no where near flush cuts. The camera may make them look but the collar was visible and pruning cut in accordance.

Is this in relation to the willow in San Diego or the work we were discussing on the Oak tree?

Now I am confused. So what is the official critique of the work in the Oak tree? I am not quite sure what you are getting at. Are you saying I should have used flush cuts on the oak tree? Discussion is good.

A Swedish Felling jack. Ratcheted with a winder and used for felling, lifting or support. Surprisingly handy when they are needed. https://www.hyresmaskiner.com/produkt/stalpen/

The old lady we were working for had cut and cleared 3 of the other fallen trees and stacked the brash for us to chip.
