The Official Work Pictures Thread

[Burnham]

I'm with these other guys, I'll leave my chainsaw behind at the drop of a hat when I'm going somewhere in the tree where I won't be using it.

 

[stig]

Absolutely.
I don't drag it around the woods either, unless I need it.

 

[Mick!]

I'll hang it when I'm using a bigger one. I'd never park it otherwise, you'll always need it just when you ain't got it.

 

[Peter]

Ash dismantle from yesterday.

 

[Mick!]

Pete, I don't want to be a bore but tell me about that bar, it's a new one on me.

 

[Peter]

It's a Sagenspezi 42", bought it off German ebay for about £100 inc 2 chains.

 

[Mick!]

Nice, some kind of new fungi as well, almost looks like fat ball nets.

 

[BOTS]

Nice work there Peter, thats one big ash

I like that bar as well

 

[cory]

Wow, big tree and nice pics. Too bad though, looks like someone (maybe you?) did a fine looking reduction on it previously.

 

[stig]

We'll be doing a lot of ash removals in Europe in the near future.
Be like DED again.

There was some nice color in that wood, do you have some way to sell it to turners etc?

 

[Peter]

I had to quarter all the big stuff, would you still get good turning blanks out of it? I might mill the quarters into boards, too nice to firewood.

 

[stig]

Sure you would.
But boards would be nice, too.

work

BACK TO WORK at last AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF DEADNESS/WINTER/SHITE. oops.... we took down an easy Plane curbisde, and I dismantled a large oak over two rooves from the bucket. Easy with no wires, plus the property was being renovated, so (God ever forbid) a hole in the roof or a bent TV aerial would have been ok (I bent the old TV antenna just for fun/target practice haha)

 

[MasterBlaster]

No more shade for them!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Been a hell of a winter back there. Good to see you back at it Benn

 

[Bodean]

Everyone looks so relaxed when their not looking at a 4 hour chainsaw jamboree with hours of loading wood afterwards.

Machines.

 

[Burnham]

Big trees.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Machines, good bless 'em. Going to move 20' alder saw logs tomorrow with the boxer, I think.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Urban Arborring. Take the street.

Beautiful chinese elms....parvifloras, strictly end weight off all structures and muni wires.

Before:

After:

The trees leafed out within 10 days of the bid.

Deva, do you have a 'keeper cord' for you orchard ladder for paved ground? Some ladders have chains. Mine don't. I use about $.40 of accessory cord, and tie a prussic around the pole. Once in a while this even helps a bit if the pole starts to sink into the wet ground ( I mean to put a plug in the end, but forget) or the tall ladder is very splayed out.

[pantheraba]

Excellent pictures!!

 

[PCTREE]

I always enjoy seeing a fellow pro one handing as was intended

We slew a somewhat compromized beech today.
The top was all hollow, which I realized because I saw a bunch of Jackdaws hanging out in it. They nest in hollows.
Since it was next to the road and a transformer, I took a closer look at it.
It was in bad shape and the top would hit the transformer if it blew off, so I decided it had to go.
Easy fall, as there was lots of solid wood to work with.
A couple of woodturners are buying the first 10 feet of the log, the rest goes to a local firewood guy.

 

[Mick!]

Not insubstantial.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Boom!
