These oaks were on a property in Santa Clarita, CA. Took longer than I thought- 2 and a half days but they did turn out pretty nice except for some slight loins-tailing from my new climber. You can tell on the pic of the cluster (there were 3 planted together many many years ago). There are also 2 pics of another large oak 200' to the left.

Nice work mike, looks like an amazing tree! Not only to work in, but in general!:msp_thumbsup:

Thanks! Even pruning them for free just for the website pics would have been ALMOST worth it Since they were beautiful to begin with it made our job easy. With so many hat-racked trees around here it's almost unusual to work in trees that have great structure and natural beauty. Most of our pruning seems to be fixing what someone else had done. These particular trees hadn't been touched in many years.

Looks really good, man. I feel your pain on fixing other's mistakes all the time... So many big, beautiful trees that never get taken care of.
