Chris Head Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I don't mind trimming them down to ground level WJT...that's how Leylandii should look! Had a call the other week for a large & dead Oak to be dealt with...not felled, client wants the crown taking out & the bole carved into a totem...'So how much are you going to charge me to do that?' I asked[:D]...there aren't many jobs that you get to climb trees; play with chainsaws & have big fires! Cool eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoneye Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 You are up bright and early chris !Carved into a totem ?More money than sense comes to mind, but maybe I'm just boring at heart ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinty Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hey Chris, we have this one in the Castle Grounds here in Stornoway, not too shabby, eh !! [8-|][IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc98/Lewisland/Totem.jpg[/IMG] Jinty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I was late that morning londoneye, post alcohol body clock gets me up at 5ish every morning! I have a friend in UK who once carve a 5 metre totem entirely by chisel...when he worked out what he'd earned from the commission he changed to chainsaws....they're seriously fast carving implements and drastically reduce hours & therefore costs. These people certainly don't have more money than sense, I guess they just want what they want?[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/chrishead/DSC00915.jpg[/IMG]This one is a 'fantasy' pole with little seats for little bums...99,5% chainsaw & sanded took four or five days I think...probably 40 days with chisels!Pretty cross looking wood spirit/green man there Jinty...like he got peed off that someone took the rest of him down! Cool work though...I haven't noticed the overcuts![:D] Who did the carving? Is it Ash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinty Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Chris, the fantasy pole is amazing, [:-))]I am not sure what type of tree it is, nor who does the carving, but can find out, I do know he stays here on the Island, he does a great job, very clever with the chainsaw.

Jinty Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Morning ChrisWill try and find that out for you, Winter is here already, finished work at 0800 this morning, blowing Severe Gale Force 9 last night, could hardly hear myself think for the noise, thought the roof of the building was going to lift off [:'(], very busy night, made the time disappear though [:)]Jinty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
