Not into powerlines. What does a green ash look like?

This is the greatest arborist site in the world with proclaimed experience extraordinaire and on the newbe sub thread “for individuals seeking help learning the basics. Ask the pro's here" and tramp bushler gets "google it"? He is writing from Alaska where they don’t even have green ash. I’m actually surprised the guy is curious enough to even want to know.

You guys respond with.

What is that? A high five for slapping the guy for asking a question??

Such a letdown, I don't know trees well and really looked forward to getting a great explanation beyond the basics, maybe even a personal experience. ( i.e. hard to cut, binds my saw easily, limbs are weak, disease prone, sappy on my ropes, etc.). Lacking experience in the complexities of trees, I always have my smart phone with me and can look them up with several apps that I have installed. ( plus for 911) Who needs responses like this when I can get better information from a "smart" phone and look what I get here.
I don't think it is embarrassing to ask a question on a newbe thread, one should be ashamed if they don't. Now if it says ISA Certified under your name, that could be embarrassing.
Experienced professionals should be embarrassed for trying to humiliate someone!

I know this will piss some off, I'm just hoping you can look at it from another perspective. One could be here to network, associate and get knowledge…and they get, google it? and high fives like we showed him!

It would be nice if more of you could ride on over here and step down from that tall horse and give a hand, it's not like the question was asked on the "pro" side of the fence.

Some members can be like dogs, running around sniffing out things to piss on without leaving a valuable contribution and then they growl when someone barks back.

He's an ornery old curmudgeon that gets off on putting people down. Ignore him. I'm sure he has insecurities that lead to his passive-aggressive behavior. People like him use his brand of behavior as a distraction to try and shift others' scrutiny away from themselves, for fear that their own flaws might be exposed. Pretty simple and textbook psychology.

Hard to hear what, Beins I was just back east and I know what White ash and Brown ash look like and that they aren't overly limby, I was curious as to what green ash looked like. The question was aimed at the poster who did the job. Not you. At 52 years old I still find climbing fun and profitable. Obviously you don't as you have stated you spend your days sitting on your lard ass. At least I get mine up the tree. .
Smokey ; thanks for the support! ! Someone who's avatar is some square head when they live in an almost tropical climate can't be taken too seriously. He's probably just a drunk. , lost his nerve and got lazy.
No worries, just another mouthy pos who got put on ignore.

I'd like to work around some of these Jack asses. Work them into the ground then see how they run their mouth ..
Sure is a world of difference between someone like him and someone like Beastmaster or Imagineero. ..

I am sorry if this was taken the wrong way, I was not intending on being rude about anything. If I have a question I usually look to educate myself about it as much as I can on my own and then post questions if I need further education about the matter. In about 2 minutes I learned that the green ash is native to the United States, the wood has a desirable mosaic grain that is popular in making furniture, baseball bats and tool handles are made from the heavy dense Green Ash wood, and in Northern States, Green Ash is a popular slow burning firewood.

Now that I know a little about the wood, I would then perhaps post some questions about the tree's characteristics and how climbing them would be different from a tree that is popular in my area an that I am familiar with so I could have a comparison. I do respect the fact that an Alaskan member would have enough insight to ask about a tree that is not native in his region. Humiliation was not my intent.

This is a tough crowd am I am NOT trying to be one of the tuff guys. I wrote what I wrote from the perspective of a newbie doing the most he can to gain knowledge, not a seasoned hard as$ looking down on somebody. Please accept my apologies, both Tramp Bushler and Smokey01.
 
Goose. I don't spend a lot of time on Wikipedia. If someone doesn't want to answer a question I ask, they sure don't have to. One question people should ask themselves before running their gob is, If this guy was standing next to me out in the brush and asked that question where a smart ass answer might well get my nose spread across my face, how would I answer? ?????????

I also try to read up on a person I disagree with. See if there is something I'm missing.
This arborist stuff is about the only part of the timber industry I not a professional with decades of experience in.
Only the rope climbing part. Not climbing and topping in the West coast tower Loggin style. Which I've been doing since 1983 .

Thanks, I agree 100%, in fact I it got me looking up Ash and I learned things too. In fact there is a Greene Mountain Ash in Alaska but looks quite different. Another great source and it is right here, is to just search "Ash" and you find guys talking about splitting it, how to split it, etc. Sorry to throw you into such bad company so quickly, it is just that I really value this learning environment and there is this little pack of Beagles that like to scamper around and sniff out things to piss on. In time I will get better at ignoring them but it is not easy for me to ignore such behavior. I see the numbers of lurkers and browsers and I am pretty certain that they hold back contributing and participating because of guys like this.
Anyway, I get what you said and see that it was not intended as the pack of stray dogs would have liked.
 
bought a chipper (technically my father bought a chipper) 1990 vermeer 1600 drum, with a 6cyl ford and 17xx hours. pics tomorrow
 
We do have some mountain ash here not much. It generally grows similar size and shape as Sitka Alder. Not too big and pretty crooked.
The primary ash in Maine where I grew up logging is White Ash. Used for furniture, tool handles and very important to Alaskans, snowshoe frames. It also makes Great firewood.
But I had never heard of green ash and since Ontario Canada has similar timber to Maine I was wondering.

Can we please change the subject! !

Maybe you should check your facts. I don't have a lard ass. You seem jealous of some one that is not me.
You don't know me, and you call me a drunk? You are a real piece of dumb a s s!
I have never said I sit on my lard ass, so you are a liar.
Nerve?, yours is barking behind a keyboard.
Lazy? I would be fired.
Sorry you need to dis someone to lift yourself up! Dope.

Well I got my project finished and tried it out with a small test log I had laying around. The thing is so smoooth and very stout with a 2 inch ratchet strap. I will be using a 4" when it comes in. Anyways here it is.View attachment 258980View attachment 258981[video=youtube;lvblVo1k5iw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvblVo1k5iw&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/video]

Nice job on the build for sure. One thing you might want to consider and some bumpers for the back of it that are in contact with the tree. To prevent it from sliding. My GRCS and every GRCS has them. Just a thought for the heavier pieces which looks like that can take easy. Or a removable visor plate for removals.

It has a removable kerf bracket for removals, just not shown in the pic. It bolts to. Bottom of plate with 4 bolts.
I'm anxious to use it on some really big pieces now. I sent one up to ontarioclimber to try outand do a review on it. Yeah, I still might put bumpers just not sure yet, I want to load it real good and see how much it moves if any. I know that strap gets it pretty tight. I'll be using it with a 4" ratchet strap..
 
custom you do some nice work. get to work with some big stuff and take lots of photos

the new to me chipper. not the newest or shiniest but it will work for what i will do with it and the price was right

Nice, ok then. The first time we were playing around with my GRCS when I got it we didn't have the ratchet tight as we should of and it slid a little> lesson learned. Got it dialed in nice now though. Think your onto something and do nice work:wink2:
