The Official Work Pictures Thread

Cool, Rich, thx for the page #. I just read up on that. Brings to mind Jerry's crazy boomerang throws, which I have never remotely mastered.
 
Big silver

This was day 2, 5 hours climbing yesterday, I was ready to fall this by 1130 today. Thats the biggest chunk of wood ive seen on a tree, 5 big leaders sprouted off it. :|: The only damage was the fence panel, which I stuck back on :thumbup:

Looks like somebody topped that monster before. That must have been a lot of fun given the tight quarters
 
Still going with Rob. Typical treewisemen job. Yeh the tree was pretty frigged, had been heavy reduced years back, which left alot of holes. After I cut my anchor point off, it was 50 % hollow :( Not sure how were gonna cut that knuckle up, it has an old treehouse, dirt and metal riddled.
 
Damn silver maples. Someone fifty or sixty years ago decided they were great trees. Wish I could go back and slap them upside the head. That was a big ugly for sure Benn
 
There's one down the street from me, probably 70' high, 3.5-4' dbh. But 15' up, where the 5 leaders start, has to be 10' wide...
 
Dumb question, but, do you put those pics into this thread straight from your phone?
 
Sometimes using tapatalk yes, but sometimes I just copy off facebook uploads, it makes the pics less Kilobytes... I wish there was a multi upload direct on here...?

The lump would make a great table/bar for 5 people :)
 
Benn we did an oak on Monday that the trunk was bigger than that by far!! Luckily as it had grown into a garage wall and had a fence built around it I convinced them to leave the bottom 15' !!

Shoulda got pictures but we were under the gun as the power co. gave us from 8-30 to 3-30 to get it done....... I hate having a deadline on a huge ass tree with 9 cables in it!!
 
Grundens is where it's at. But not the cheap line...

Oh yeah... Grundens. Had meant to include it, but space it. :|:

Rajan: No Gortex is sweet, but I'd hardly call that "breathable" despite the marketing. Plus it's a pretty penny.
 
Put a sign on it "free firewood" U haul off...lol

:lol::lol:

Man, Ben... if that's all that happened when you slayed that pig, I'd say: You're the man.

You and Rich have some amazingly difficult slots to deal with. When it comes to rigging in tight spots, my work's a little bit, uhh, well..... #-o
