The Official Work Pictures Thread

Doing a bit of arb work untill it is planting time.
Had a nice easy one today.
Just dump everything, no clean-up.

It was a poplar, and blooming hard. cutting it down was almost an arboreal coitus interruptus.

It was for one of the local forest districts, they'll take a forwarder in for cleaning up our mess. P1050397.JPG P1050399.JPG P1050404.JPG P1050408.JPG P1050419.JPG P1050427.JPG
 
Good Oak firewood for a friend, commercial fisherman/ entrepreneur... Should be getting vinyl lettering on my F450 and halibut in trade. He's about to start geoduck season. His sister will turn some of the crotches....maybe get a bowl of of it.

A guy I met brought his Alaskan mill and got some shorter, narrower pieces. I have some smaller log chunks, and these (end sealed now)...

19' spar, cut the triple crotch piece to 6', to be manageable, the 10' butt was too much, so I cut to 8'3", taking off the butt end. Skid it out on 5/8" plywood roadway. Barely, barely, barely managed it without a second guy on the mini. Maybe next time I'll wear my 5/8" ropebag backpack.

Got the chip truck fenders and chipper touched up with a rattle can today. Been waiting for dry, warm weather.
 
Truck looks good Sean.

Big poplar Stig, very big. The trouble with a crash and bash like that is getting away from the foot of the tree after you've descended.
 
Awesome Carl!

A whole tree chipper would compliment your operation well.

A Morbark Hurricane 2400 with a 300 hp Deere diesel engine's my favorite.

WOW Carl! What a cool piece of kit. Nice job man.

A lot of great work pictures from everyone. Been busy and missed a couple days of gandering.
Great hinges, big messes and hella limb walks! Good stuff.
 
Excellent Rich! I dig that cored out hinge 8)

The cool thing about this one was when I got there this morning, there was another tree service with their bucket truck, rocking out on a very similar tree, literally in the next lot over. We were all eyeing up each others chippers. . . hahaha

Open back yard and a nice wide alley let me dump some pretty nice tops. Just picked the stuff over the house apart with a hand saw and fancy re-directs and such. Lone wolfed the whole thing, but the old gentleman who contracted me was a freaking machine on cleanup! He absolutely killed it.

And sorry about the stubs, but I was totally using them as perches. . . :/:
 
Those weren't stubs. Those were rigging points Sam:D
Bored out the center because I was to lazy to walk out to the truck and get the 661. That 461 with a 20" bar can get some stuff done!
 
Awesome Sam you got it done...and no crane!!

looks like you had room to dump and bomb a lot of limbs

At some theoretical point in the future, Sam, Butch may... he just may (Ya never No) be inclined to forgive you. DUDE! Yer a true hinge carpenter, brother... tried to give you some comp. today, but I think ya got me. DUDE! That tree was no stinkin joke. You guys hammered that pig.

STIG!!! Bout time sir!! Crackin pics all the same. Some of the best pics ever (all would agree). Easy day, my ass.

Rich: You might double-cut better than Stig. Oops... that's the beer talking, again. :|:

Sean: Really nice oak. Good luck on "waiting fer some dry weather." :lol:

Deva: Man, O man, that WAS a pic.

Scott: As Sam or somebody pointed out... I can't even UNDERSTAND the rings on that pig. Some pretty fluffy firewood, but probably stinkin heavy with all the rain you guys have had of late. Crackin pics.

Paul: You put us all to shame with that thing. Looks like fun, bro.

170' dead Fir today, measured off the 200' Three-stand today for my brother Reg. I climbed darn-near to the tassel today to try to measure it up well enough. I took a little baby-top (which saved out pretty miraculously... only the little tassel broke) which we measured on the ground with the log-tape at 16' 5". Stingy little pig was probably only 33" dbh... wish I woulda measured it. Joe even grabbed a couple pics.
