I have been asked by a few here for some pics of how I get my wood. Basically I live on an estuary and let the tide do the work.
I take a walk along the bank about twice a week and collect anything from 3" upwards. This year so far I have harvested 3 whole trees and enough wood for next years heating plus possibly some more.
The pics are take from our up stairs window and the first shot shows the tide in and an ash washed up.
the second is just how close I can get them with time. This tree was some half mile away when I first came across it. All I use is a rope, fence post and hammer to drive it. The high tides do the rest. Takes time but sames the back, and access is a real problem otherwise.View attachment 95157
