That was a really straight ash tree, it had good genetics. A pity it succumbed to that disease.
“Timber!" indeed. That’s a lovely bit of timber.
I think this is the first time I've seen someone clean the branches off of a tree they're felling before they chop it down. Considering how that's one of the issues talked about why we "can't" cut down some problem trees around our house, I'm wondering why.
I'm surprised at the young age of the tree. I would have expected older. I recently compared a couple trees from New Zealand to a tamarack firewood log from here in northern Alberta.14 yrs vs 195 years.
I notice you’re wearing a wool cardigan sweater while doing all this sawing, I can’t imagine you aren’t sweating a ton. That ash is beautiful wood, well worth it.
I love this channel. the idea of preserving tradition and doing things the way of history is important. That said10 minutes with a chain saw shows what advancements are well done. we have to remember how hard work was to appreciate how easy we have it now.
Few things in this world are as satisfying as felling a tree by hand. Glad you could experience it. 😊
Can’t wait to see those hurleys
can't wait for all the hurley making vids! ❤
Nice thinking ahead to use the grain for hurleys!
Dude, you've got a really nice looking axe swing.

Lovely work! Fair play to the both of ya!
So I’m from California and we are known for our large and long lived trees. Last year I got to watch the process of cutting down a 150 year old 75+ foot tall pine tree. The cracking of the wood and boom when the trunk landed was incredible.
