Today....

I would like to know what THIS was cut with.


Looks like they used a large drill to remove most of the wood before making the final cut with a thin flat blade.

I’d like to know how long it took from tree to timber!

Just another pine doing pine things.

@rico what was that cut with?

Auger drills. Here's the story-

From Peril to Protection

Hello Perhaps you know me. My name is the Sentinel Tree and I’m a giant sequoia who stands at the edge of the North Grove gazing down on the Big Stump. (For over 1,000 years, I stood beside a second Sentinel Tree, but my brother fell over in 1919.) Over 160 years ago, we witnessed a terrible

If it weren't for the extremely brittle nature of the Sequoia's they would have been driven to extinction very quickly. Thank the gawds that we couldn't figure out how to get them on the ground without blowin' them up...

I’ve been maintaining this particular tree for over 15 years now these folks told me today basically I’ve climbed it 4 times to prune deadwood reduction prune end weight on low overextended limbs and excess water sprouts. It’s like visiting an old friend. I love this tree. It was windy up there today! Figure I’d share it. Just a little Jersey chestnut oak

No cables @Treetopflyer ? Feels good to help keep those trees vs only removals!

Not a cable in sight! I have always just prescribed end weight reduction. Ive spent many many hours with a 14 foot basswood pole and a sharp Marvin head out on the tips

I’ve built my business on repeat assets like this tree haha! There is So much to be said for that love of trees and nature being so important as an arborist! I see some people try and be in this Business and you can see they don’t have that love , they look at trees like meat to be butchered.
I get so excited when I get to do this type of work vs the sort of heavy feeling when taking down a good tree for a pool or there’s too many leaves in my yard type shit.
On the other hand when a client calls with that tree you’ve worked on since back in the day it just feels like everything is right in the world!

I hate taking down good trees because someone planted it without enough room, usually the case.

You can always offer to replant a new tree in the correct location

 

[chiselbit]

OR,, we know a guy with a tree spade for sale,,, you could transplant it, what do you suppose the shipping would be to Dryass desert land?

 

[Basswood]

I was with a crew being shown a clearing job up in the Berkshires when we ran into this big ole sleeping black bear in a mess of vines. Needless to say the job was postponed.

 

[Winchman]

Uh oh, I may have created some bear habitat in my neighbor's backyard yesterday.

 

[27RMT0N]

We've been going through a cold-snap all week, so I've stayed home to avoid the icy and dangerous roads/hills. And they REALLY are treacherous. Instead of tree work, I've been catching up on admin, chain sharpening, late-season wood splitting and dump-truck doughnuts.

Don't tell my landlord.

 

[davidwyby]

Not as cracked as I expected.


A little something for @BIGTWIG


Shhhhh


Bad husky. Bad.


Maybe keep dust out of bad huskies?

Some crazy angles that somehow balanced!?
