The amount and size of wood to move off site is a limiting factor for our equipment. There is so much quartering I am willing to do. This elm spar was still 30ft tall when I took this picture. Bigger companies can have big jobs. No shortage of trees in CT.

Latest job. It is reaching our limits but made for some good climbing.

Paw paw harvest of the day. Good eaten raw, as ice ice cream or in muffins. Tree is 5 years, old. Very little care.

2 tree peonies and one early herbaceous

Sorry Cory

2 healthy coyotes on our walk today. We heard them miles away as they were howling. They did not care for the dog and me.

Client's cherry log that's been rotting for a couple years

Thanks. I have a slightly used Drenaline that is the perfect candidate.

@Tommy_B Do you use a wire/long steel rod fid for the drenaline? I have been watching the splicing vids and all it seems to need is patience and a 50cm or longer wire fid

Warm enough for the mill today. Some cedar I fell a few months ago. The client wants raised beds on posts.

Getting to sit at the same table and hear Cory's stories live was a privilege. I am sure we could get some serious work done. Now let's get this cold and nasty weather behind us and get some treework done!

The picture should be posted shortly but I met @cory today. It was awesome.

Yes. I quartered with a wedge and maul and then the long and skinny Fiskars.

yesterday's workout.

Latest one. The main struggle is getting the core out of the cover without too much distorsion.
