One of many ash suffering from dieback, sadly.
Taken down
and converted first to
and then to
finally to
Plenty more where they came from alas. Maybe I ought to buy a logmill.
But we didn't stop there, no Sirree indeedy. Out with the stump grinders
Three large stumps in here
..now gone
and here
..now gone
and again here
and again
to this
and another four here and there.
But we were on a roll and so next came three large larches. These are the final cuts being made of No 3.
sorry for the shakiness ..no tripod but I tried to steady it against a tree
and here she goes
Cut down to 3m lengths - 35-40cm diameter - ten-twelve from two of them, the third still to be cut into lengths... tricky task as it fell across the stream/micro-ravine.
Trying to find a buyer/portable mill to realise some beer money.
Not bad for a days work.
