Ed is it my imagination or were you not wearing spikes for that tree????

Nice job BTW other than that

If you mean the big poplar, no I wasn't. I forgot and left them at home...

It wasn't easy without spikes, But that big fork worked about right.

I forgot and left them at home...

I've done that TWICE! Talk about cussing myself!!!

I'm gonna kick my ass the next time I do that.

I love me a dangerous tree. It gets me high.

 

[FJR]

It is a high, it makes you feel alive. The flip side of the coin for me is that it I get complacent on the less technical jobs, and I have to continually remind myself to be just as aware as if were a really technical or dangerous job.

Big safe pine removal. I brushed it out in a long day.
Shamrock dumped the wood by noon the second day and the wood guy hauled it all away.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Such tiny pics! Why did you have to rig it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You are a machine.... Hella tree Deva and top notch work!

 

[Bodean]

Sorry for tiny pics. It's really super super easy for me to throw these on FB from my Phone.
It's super super hard for me to post on TH from my phone.

We had to rig the brush because the tree was in a tight spot and extended way out.

The wood we only rigged a few pieces out over some people houses, chunked a bunch.
The main trunk was free cut into like 5 pieces.

I'm still sore. It was 12 hours on friday, 13 hours on saturday....
Thanks Stephen, appreciate it.

I'll try and scab a pic off my friends FB page for the brush.

 

[Bodean]

This is after I finished one side.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sappy, I bet... especially on saturday!

 

[Bodean]

Here's my second attempt at good pics size.

There was hardly any sap weird....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice. It's good you didn't have to rig the trunk!

 

[treesandsurf]

cool pics where was the pine? Looks like that branch was tearing out at the union in one of those pics?

Larkspur, rigging the wood could have been maybe a whole nother day.

I carried a husky 570 and an 020 all day. Little saw to take a limb in two or three,
Then back to the trunk where I left the 570 and finish the flush cut. 20-24 inch limb wood.

Amazing pictures. We never get conifers that size here.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Great looking job, Deva. Wonder if Larkspurians were interested?

 

[canadiantreeman]

Nice work, mang.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Fine work, Deva!

 

[top_notch]

[Burnham]

Took down trees at the Golf Course today that stood in water for 4 months during 2011 flood. All green ash that did not leaf out this spring. Biggest in the 75-80 foot range. Just drop them and shove them in big chipper. We did save a lot of nice logs for firewood. Started out at about 10F, ended up about 32F. When it gets that warm our trails get a little slick. Supposed to be about -20 F about tomorrow night, so that should stiffen the mud up a little.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Man, North Dakota, wow. I don't think I could handle it!

 

[top_notch]

We've had neg 20 the past couple of nights too. Tough on vehicles starting. Have to keep my truck plugged in...need to replace glow plugs. Soon...

 

[lumberjack]

At negative twenty... if I was going somewhere every day I would leave my truck running unless it was in a heated garage.
