Glad everyone liked the tree saga. Ye...Morning All,<br />Glad everyone liked the tree saga. Yes Lois it was a big operation to me, to them it was 'just another tree'. I doubt that much of our Oak will get burned except for the scraps from the lathe. Actually Elaine, i stayed far from the chipper, and Beatrice was even farther. What you want Crister is a lathe. I use a midi lathe from Jet Machinery. I'm sure you have them over there. Then you need good Sorbe gouges and a low speed sharpener, and ,,,, well you get the idea. I'll have to post a tour of the 'Wood N ThingZ Shop'. Possum is right when she says we won't worry as much during the next Nor'easter. Sorry Patty, you know we are not so techy, but we did eat a lot of 'Blueberrys' while in Maine. In fact we may grow some here. Kjell, i would make tables out of those rounds if they are big enough. Some of our oddly shaped pieces will become platters of some sort. Hi Ginger. Yes the chips are in a nice bin now waiting to become mulch, walkways, and some will even get to take a ride through our chipper and become 'green manure' along with the chicken waste which we have an abundance of around here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-57967917199106218852010-11-18T17:49:54.353-05:002010-11-18T17:49:54.353-05:00That looked like a heck of a job and I know your g...That looked like a heck of a job and I know your glad it done! looks like a lot of Chips. Can they be used for mulch? or are they too green?.<br />Have a happy Thanksgiving in Atlanta.

I almost ...Funny you should mention a wood chipper. I almost logged off right away. Several months ago I accidentally threw my BlackBerry out with the Sunday paper. We just returned from Italy and jet lag combined, with a couple of cats crawling in and out of the sheets while I was deciding if I wanted to get out of bed or not, made me forget that I had picked up my BlackBerry and dozed off with it for a few moments. After waking up I decided to wash the sheets. I now have proof that a BlackBerry can not go through two wash cycles and live to ding another day. I joked to the editor of my newspaper about how I could kill my new BlackBerry and he said a wood chipped would be nice. Oh, no. Run!<br /><br />That was one huge tree. Great photos, and I am happy to see that no Grenville or BlackBerry was harmed in the chipping of that tree.<br /><br />Hope you have been doing well. I am just too busy to do anything but take photos, so excuse my lack of communication. I think about you, though - does that count?<br /><br />An early Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-42516756774936289942010-11-18T09:00:25.096-05:002010-11-18T09:00:25.096-05:00Those tree chippers sure can gobble up a lot of tr...Those tree chippers sure can gobble up a lot of tree parts in a hurry, can't they?Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-44918790451191729012010-11-18T07:30:59.109-05:002010-11-18T07:30:59.109-05:00Know when you will really enjoy all this work?

We´ve had some nasty accidents with them over here. But I´m thinking of getting a garden chipper so I can make chips from all branches I get when cutting down the lilac hedge here.<br /><br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-67341054444976279612010-11-18T04:21:12.321-05:002010-11-18T04:21:12.321-05:00Tree chippers are absolutely amazing to watch.
