    Watched a climber take a big swing yesterday.

    Posted this is dead wood but then realized it would be a better fit here. Funny thing this being the top thread. Yesterday the new owner of the house next door neighbor was having an oak cleaned up. It has been dropping branches for years and about a month ago dropped one about 50 ft long on...

    Rookie faller

    Hey all, took a couple of rotten trees down for a neighbor. Was scared to climb and cut due to my age (63) and trees condition (dead tops) so I dropped them between two sections of fence. All worked out well (even a broken clock is right twice a day) and was able to remove branch's one at a...

    Rookie question on "tree markings"

    Hello all, just curious when I walk along a trail and see various spray paint markings on trees, some along the same trail are orange while others are green. I assume the orange markers are indicating that whomever has marked them for removal (most appear pretty sickly) but most of the ones I...

    Pine Allergy?

    Hello all, 62 yr guy who does occasional tree work (not a professional) Last year I took down a large dead pine tree for my next door neighbor. It was an easy job just cut up into short rounds and stack behind my house. When I did the job it was summer and hot and I was wearing shorts. After...

    Finally got my first tree job at 62

    About a year and half ago I got some basic climbing gear and a top handle saw to take off some limbs on a large willow oak and wreck another dead oak at the back of my property. Well after the next door neighbor saw me take down my tree she decided she wanted me to take down a large pine at the...

    Hey all was just looking up some instructions on doing an eye splice on some polydyne, when I stumbled on this video by "Premium Ropes". It is titled making an eye in double braided polyester ropes...but is sure does not look like a secure splice to me. Is this mearly a decorative splice? I...

    Pine estimate

    Hello all, My neighbor saw me take down a 70 ft oak on my property and now she has a pine tree about 85ft she wants me to remove. The good thing is its not near any buildings, just other trees..the bad news is it is near other trees. Its got a hollow trunk as you can see but the opening is in...

    Tanaka top handle saw

    Just wanted to give a "shout out" to Tanaka. Bought a TCS33EDTP for $215 to take some limbs of an oak I am removing and take out some limbs on another giant willow oak around my house (62 yr old beginning/home arborist, LOL). As expected, the saw worked fine to remove and buck a couple of 10" by...

    Question on "Barber Chair"

    Probably a stupid question but here goes anyhow. I am new to trees and taking down one tree (some kind of oak) and taking some leads out of another large willow oak, both on my own property. Many of the limbs (6"-14" at the intersection to the trunk) point skyward, say between a 40° and 75°...
