Some idiot put his elbow in the way of my kick.
Not the first time for me, my right big toe hasn't been broken, that is the only one.
Most have been broken more than once.
Occupational hazard when you turn your feet into weapons
Don't you worry about the back push from the top going over pushing the stump out or breaking the stem lower? Kinda seems crazy to put someones life at risk for some freaking woodpeckers IMO
"Retrenchment pruning is a phased form of crown reduction, which is intended to emulate the natural process whereby the crown of a declining tree retains its overall biomechanical integrity by becoming smaller through the progressive shedding of small branches and the development of the lower crown (retrenchment)"
Making a compromised or declining tree smaller and lighter, basically. Also can mean training or reshaping a younger tree to a more suitable form.
Knocked out three of these Oak stumps after work. They were full swing on my little grinder. Half a dozen little pines too. It did awesome. Green Wheel rocks.
Nice work Bob.
Sam stump grinding is not glamorous at all, but can pay the bills.
Reg that just looks nasty! Dusty, dirty, nasty stuff. I don't envy you on that one
Sam: Nice retrechment prune with the stump-grinder. Ohh.... LOVED those pine pics.
BRIAN!!! DANG, sir! WHERE the HECK'ya BEEN! DANG! Been awhile hasn't it???!! Dang. Nice work though. Specially on the roof. Man, you do a good clean-up.
Rich: Can't speak for the true "High Climbers," of Old-Growth lore, but, truth be told... you and Cory and Paul and a lot of ya's would put a ton of us "PNW folk," to shame. Most "Straight-up-and-downs," are pretty easy bro.
Fiona: Nice Eucs!! Gotta love doing a beautiful job.
Bob: Speaking of beautiful!! Man.... (Trying to think of something worth saying)... Nope. Got nuthin. Let me just say this..........................
umm.... You're really good at pruning. Gotta love trees. I challenge anyone on here to tell me that we don't have an awesome job. i LOVE to prue. I'll even do any stinkin hedge they're willing to throw at me. You know what... I take that back. Most hedges DO pretty-much suck.
Paul: WOW. Man!!! You guys are stinkin, pretty good. Dude, I'd pay for a plane-ticket to just watch you guys work sometime.
Uhhh... Here's a bucha randome pics from the last coupla daze. Here's a pine (yes we have the odd Pine here) I ziplined today...
Well. First of all... here's David going up to hack-off a Spruce limb I had been smashing all day...
O.k.... here's my dumb-phone pics...
This thing was almost Stephen size. Look at the size of this limb that I went half-way out to cut!...
Here's a nasty Maple I had to tie together to fall...
Here's a nasty Hemlock with an ugly stump that I cut for Corey...
Check out how sappy my firewood is. Hopefully I can figure out a way to get this stuff to burn by next winter... heee, hee, he, he, he...
Like several others here have mentioned: it's really interesting... the different growth patterns that those pigs over there exhibit. Like Justin mentioned... you'd never, ever (I don't care what open-field that pig was growing in) find limb spacing that tight over here. You'd never even find whorls that tight, and you'd very, very seldom find rings that fat on a firpig on this side of the pond.
