This is our new family dog we got a few years back, Star:)

Handsome dog you got there.

cut off everything possible without damaging the tree is what i would suggest.

Yeah, I saw that. But the sources are facebook and bob vila. I did read a bit and found nothing to say it's bad. The most credible source seemed to be the California university ag research page. I'm surprised I've never seen it here as sunscald is huge here. Tree wrapping is definitely a...

Conventional and no step?! Head leaning spar but no thanks!

Make pictures for the hive mind to problem solve

It’s worth a watch of Northman’s video. Short version : as length increases, so does price, but logs are scaled off the small end, so more goes to waste off the large end, so board foot yield is reduced. It’s a tricky game, but it seems for a lot of trees up there 32’ is a sweet spot, and...

Would it help or hurt to pull that chain out at this point?

People… Do we need an auto enthusiasm thread? Someone left a headache around 20’ up this tree… Ancient firewood cutter. Wooden table on the left swings. I might adopt it.
