Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[deepsouth]

I saw bundy rum can.

Eagle eyes.... :msp_scared:

That was in the afternoon when we went pulling logs left in piles by the logger who went in a couple of years prior and we didn't go off the gravelled roads again.... Due to the rain.

 

[Stihlman441]

A blokes at it again got orders to fill so get stuck in.

This big Redgum has fallen over the boundary fence so needs sorting out,this thing is about 6 and a haft foot diameter.
Matt how big can ya mill ?.

 

[MCW]

Um...
Can't mill that big mate. 55" max with my current setup but with the 72" and a new set of rails probably 65-68".
Nice tree. Did you push it over yourself?

Dendrochronology is a measure of climate and this is only accurate for working out the age of a tree if the climate is the same year in year out this means it is highly probable in temperate climates a ring = a year, but it is also true that in tropical climates it is a record how many times a tree flushed and this can be two and three times a year.

I will go 400 years just to be different from the rest of you

yeah reading rings is not as easy as 1 2 3 but as this log is green not dry which can help define rings and its from southern OZ it may just allow dear Stihlman to get a close enuff estimate of numbers,,,, er um that's if he can count that high,,,, sir you may need to take yer boots off or bring a blackboard n chalk lad :msp_biggrin:

you can often see past years eg 73 & 81 of drought and plenty 84 & 96-98 show in the rings as good or poor times

The oldest I soxed was 350 old red gum and it was a stupid act cuz I though was decayed and dodgy over a school yard but once down it was only rot on trunk surface and Codit had held it firm. That tree could still be there 200 plus years if I known better.

 

[sun64]

I will have a crack at the age of the tree at 180 years old

Stilhman 350 are you taking a handicap for onsite and local knowledge ?

the table still open lads till 441 starts his saw git on for the glory of guessing

 

[Stihlman441]

I dont need a handicap i am all ready one.:msp_biggrin:

I think i will cut the butt part off of the tree on Wednesday to enable the fence to be repaired.

Maybe Matt can mill it when he comes down.
