Nasty locust tree in a bad spot. Quick three hours from arrival to pulling out. The crew was happy for a break from ROW work. Did some saw maintenance and took some tests for the gas companies requirements. Still trying to figure out how we’re supposed to wear an ID badge and work.

Tape it to the top of your skull bucket.

Burls, or burrs across the pond are sought after for the unique disoriented grain pattern many which create focal “eyes”.
I have a few at the moment. Usually about 50% are nothing great once opened or have too many openings running through them.
Some get used despite the loss of integrity for sculptural pieces. The bowl with holes is cottonwood burl, the entire bowl is thuya.

Good habitat living snags...maple trunks in the center.. slightly alive is great. More solid shell growing. I'll have to prune one to keep it weighted away from the house.

Speaking of habitat trees.

Some critter has been going to town on this hollow red oak. It lost its top a few years ago just nicking a brand new boat house. That was hollow and I’m sure it’s hollow down to where the critter is digging out of an old pruning scar that rotted out about 30’ up. It has very few limbs left, more old sprouts than limbs but is still alive.

It’s a perfect habitat tree but removal may be in sight. Good size three foot dbh. The one behind it is real big probably pushing six foot at the top of the root flair.

Another really handsome waterfront property.
