Just acquired two springboards and I know near zilch about boards in general. Do these look like a commercially produced product or DYI? Anyone know what the end pieces are called - the nomenclature? The two pieces look so similar, it would be a fairly talented DYI build if that's the case. I...

If it loads, here's a video for our home front yard landscape. I plan to post later in the "gardening" thread which seems to be mostly vegetables and food. We're also doing stuff with corn, zuchini, etc., in a back garden arrangement. Our front yard, when bought 2016, had one big declining...

The stack of lumber is next to a workshop I helped to reorganize at a camp where our son and his wife moved. It's been stored outdoor, under cover, and appears to have very little cracks. It seems to be in excellent condition, straight, and stacked on an even surface. The property has pine...

After about 12 years, I returned again to see the historic Bigfoot Trap a stone throw from the Oregon and California border.

The Brotherhood redwood at Trees of Mystery is bigger than I realized, after taking photos over 3 days there. Expedition Old Growth prepared the tree for experienced climbers and also helped NBC and French broadcasting's interviewers go up for video and questions. The two people on the left...

The past few years I've been using mini loppers more to spare my right hand some. Mainly for fruit trees, but sometimes general pruning. I've been using Felco 20s and a small Corona. Lately, the house below has required so many hand cuts, it got me rethinking whether to get an ELECTRIC hand...

Unusual House - Rogue Valley - Pruning and Odds & Ends A couple months ago, I did pruning in Jacksonville, Oregon for someone. Last week they asked me to come to their other Rogue Valley house. I am not taking over maintenance, but am helping redesign shapes, pruning and consultation for...

Are any of you near the PNW entering the climbing competition in Medford this May 12th? I thought the flyer heading "Tree Carnival" was a unique choice, but there's going to be other stuff happening. Damien Carre with Expedition Old Growth may be bringing gear to rig for trees to climb too. The...

A head start for 2018 photos. This was the end of December, but close enough. Just got a new lens I'm getting a handle on. The Zeiss Milvus 85mm. This was Howland Hill Rd. in Jedediah Smith park.

Odd, but maybe not, I found myself tonight on Youtube watching video of people using an ax and some manual saw labor, felling trees. I've done the same before growing up on my parents small property in Oregon, so it's not unfamiliar. I use power saws, and I know most of you use power saws. But...

Just bought a Yuzu citrus tree from nursery in the Medford area. Apparently hardy to 10 degrees F.. Has anyone grown one or encountered mature specimens in Rogue Valley, or elsewhere in Oregon? Anyone cook using the fruit? The tree is attractive and I am very unfamiliar with it. The tree has...

The fallen / broken redcedar topic inspired this one. It's about growth though, rather than damage. Between 2010 and 2016, the 1321 point General Sherman was unofficially surpassed by coast redwood, by no less than 40 points. The reason it's not official, is a bunch of us on the west coast...

Just designed a short photo book. I Used a photo album template, but its definitely a book and the photos look good. Compared to Beranek's books, the cost per unit is spendy, so I am selling them first out of the Crescent City new 2nd Street art gallery as a gift souvenir book. This will plant...

Hello. Hopefully a few others understand some importance of this. But some pristine coast redwood habitat is being ruined by an anonymous person using the internet. I set up a gofundme page at: Link > https://www.gofundme.com/c5kgvbtw I link to a page explaining the native plant damage in...

Last night and part of this morning, I stated on my blog about Coast Redwoods retaining their heavy weight champion title belt. And climate change actually being a loser. The full text is at the following link. Sometimes it takes a couple seconds to load. I keep comments disabled on the blog...

Battery Point Lighthouse with reflection ...

Barely got 4 pages into these books a couple days ago, and I decided to wait for my next redwood visit, a week from now, so I can really relax and enjoy. But the sample I read was exceptionally well written ... and reminded me of how some wines or foods improve with age. Gerald (w/ Mrs. B's...

If you ever dealt with similar ... feel free to share a few things you did to forget about it, or move on. I will add that part later in reply About 2 years ago, a couple asked me to look at their trees. About 450. Some w/ twine left on. Long story short, they canned their landscaper, and that...

Got an email this afternoon about this article published in the southern Oregon Mail Tribune. I think all my comments were kept in proper context. Story Link > > http://mailtribune_com.mmstage.ot.atl.publicus.com/article/20150626/ENTERTAINMENTLIFE/150629873 Looking forward to next week's trip...

Going to try a booth at an arts festival in Crescent City. First time I've ever tried something like this. July 3rd and 4th. The photo attached ... just arrived yesterday as a 16 inch x 48 inch print on canvas. The link below leads to larger 2200 pixel width version. The full size canvas...
