Yes sir, three slabs joined together, 39" wide. It was a nice size tree, maybe 30" DBH. The wider slabs in the center of the log have less markings from the beetles, the closer to the outside of the log the more predominant the markings become. So I used three slabs that were smaller in width...
Thanks guys for the friendly push, It's been on my mind for the past couple of years. Time is more of a problem than money. And it seems like a good winter endeavor. But unfortunately I am in the process of doing a new kitchen. This will take any and all free time for probably the next 8-10...
Didn't snap any pictures when I was there a few weeks ago. Doing the job tomorrow along with some other work there. Was not familiar with the Kousa dogwood, I looked it up and by the bark it isn't one of those.
So If I trim it back it probably wont flower in the spring is what you are saying...
I have a repeat customer that I've done work for in the past, a removal and clearance trims. He wants his dogwood trimmed back about 2' all the way around. Its about 15-20' tall. Its encroaching over the neighbors fence, his clothesline, walkway and porch. I know its a good time of the year to...
Used on one small job for a few limbs, as new. It works as they say and my groundie liked it, but I prefer old school knots.

Sena 10R here. Two sets on my crew mounted to Kask helmets. Work great, turn them on and they connect instantly. I also do some work with a crane and talked him into getting some. They have proved very valuable. So much so that the last job we did together he forgot it on his kitchen table, he...

Coming from a newbie, it just takes time. I climbed rock for 15 years before I started messing around in trees. While similar, they are very different. I climbed trees recreationally for about 2 years before I started taking a saw with me. My first large pine removal about 5 or 6 years ago, I...
Mine is made from Schedule 80 pvc and has been pumped to 150psi with no issues. I have a 10" wood handle on the ball valve which makes opening the valve very quick. At 150psi it will launch to the top of any tree here in eastern Pa. and get the next two trees behind it. Normally run 90-100 psi...
Looks like you have it correct. I love mine and it has always locked up when needed, but it does slide easily when unloaded. They don't like sap! I keep a wire core with a traditional adjuster for sappy trees.
Exactly what he said. We just sold our sailboat a few months ago. My wife, who is my groundie was also my mate on the boat, so the GRCS was familiar territory.
We never stop learning. I haven't used a butterfly since I learned the farmers hitch. And no its not a truckers hitch, I use that also, mostly to tie things down. The farmers loop is also known as the circus bowline.
