Tropics Mango tree old school

[islandarb]

Hey dudes this 70 year old mango tree removal here took me 11 hrs over two days. 4 trucks loads gone for recycling. On the last day I rushed out the house leaving my 25/28" bars for 460 which made for harder job as I got down to major trunk wood however I made do with puny 20" which I use mostly for bucking smallish wood ( 12-18" ). Hope ya like. Also very tight landing zone both sides. Spike less until trunk wood, as per usual. Paul. DMM small block ( 5/8 ) used for second day. Paul.

Sweeeet, buddy!

If you have an online photo account (photobucket, flikr and so on) you can copy the info from that account and paste on the forum all inline. A little easier. PM if you need details.

How does the wood smell? When are mangoes in season?

Hey Dylan I will PM about Photobucket etc. Can facebook do the same thing. Mango tree bark and wood is bitter, have to drink plenty of water to avoid sore throat. Odd thing Mango's bear their fruit at different times according to variety. Mostly in april to may though, I am not a fan however. Give me them strawberries, I love strawberries. The wood is very strong, hinges well and is semi hard when mature. Soft when young though. Paul.
