When you getting up that tree. There isn't much left!!
Sweet thread here. When you getting in the tree?
As for his choice of saws, nothing new for an experienced tree guy. They don't have CAD and don't find the urge for the newest saws. My climber buddy still uses a 020avp in the tree. I asked him about the 200t, he said they are alright, but give him a 020avp any day over a 200t.
I was wondering if anybody knows whether hackberry is a suitable lumber wood. I was thinking about making a big beam out of one of the larger pieces. it might be worth investing in a Granberg, since I have an 084 or two lying around...
Also, I have been offered a nice 056 Mag 2 at a good price. I have two, so I am set for that saw right now. I do like the torquey grunt they have, good for stump slicing and burying deep in a wet sappy hardwood! How are they for milling? I would think a rich running, oil gusher would be suited to milling better than a new strato oil trickler....
I cut some hackberry beams for a guy when I had my bandsaw mill. They turned out nice and stayed pretty straight when they dried. I have seen kitchen cabinets made from hackberry. They looked nice.
I did not realize you were in Kansas until now. If you are anywhere near Lawrence and need another groundman to finish the job I would be more than happy to help. Sorry the offer is so late in the job
OMG, Did I see an echo top handle and the guy one handing a saw? That guy is a hack:jawdrop: :help:
Just kidding!!!:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
I just see these kind of responds all the time.
The climber reminds me of some guys I see around here. Old school all the way around. Looks like a technical take down. I bet it was fun to help and watch.
Thanks for the thread!!!!
excellent pics that's we do here on L I ever day but your man wood not last 2 minutes with me rool number 1 hard hat its does not matter how good your are not hat you walk tom trees
This is one of the most entertaining threads ever. Amazing pictures...and really impressive. This friend of yours is on a whole nother level!
I would kill to have someone who was a proficient climber as a close friend to learn from. I'd bet just running rope for him was a great opportunity to see the rope techniques involved.
