Working on the beach, then working up in the hills at 2500’…. ohia wood going to a local group that cooks in the ground.

So you got those trees down without moving all the crap that was in the way at the bottom?

Looks like a pretty area Andrey. Bummer about the temperature :^(

Yes, this is a very interesting area. There are no industrial enterprises here, there are many forests and lakes -

I didn't get any before pictures, but this is a 62" DBH cottonwood. It was a monster. The picture with Alec and Steve next to the log is from the main union about 40' up.

Deva,
It looks like I’ll be back in February as a volunteer/judge for the TCC on Maui.
I’ll let you know when it gets closer on specific dates.
Also, I’ll gladly work a few days in trade, as I’ll be looking to carry home a 50lb suitcase of Milo, Koa, Pheasant Wood, Ohia, etcetera for bowl blanks 😁

Never seen so much bird crap in my life. I can still smell it

 

[Tommy_B]

Looked better for it.


I even cleaned the window!!

 

[flushcut]

Eww, bird poop!

So having never dealt with such a mess: how do you start such a mess? From the top down clearing the roof and hope it peels off nice and clean?

It's good that cows don't fly

Cut the side off with a saw the I went up and got everything off the roof. I was worried it would have damaged the tiles and the gutter but was lucky.

Cut anything that was wrapping round the facia boards etc and then we tied a rope around a chunky bit and gave it a pull. Luckily it all came off in one massive piece.



3 hours start to finish

We moved into a low lying area today, with some nice trees.
I prefer them smaller, cause the biggies are hard work to limb and buck, but no denying there is good money in this size.

Local guy with a lot of iron. He and I are on friendly terms and he has an addiction to hickory for some reason.

Earlier this week a got a rope set in an old oak in my yard that needs to come down. Severe crown dieback aggravated by an old trunk wound caused by fire. It had a slight back lean so I didn't feel comfortable wedging it, and I needed a second person to drive the truck and pull it while I cut.

Finally got it done today. The wound wood on the front side didn't hinge as well as I hoped and it broke early about 10-15 degrees to the left. I took out one fence panel on the left side. Had it all cleaned up and staged to burn in about 90 minutes with just 2 of us. That loader makes short work of it.

was worried someone was going to call the fire department. Maples get to dusty when they die
