An Old Grey from the tip
I rescued this from the tip must be getting on for 2 years ago, no idea what it was but couldn't leave it there

Finally decided to cut it up the other day, I thought it would be a good test to see how the new addition to trailer was going to perform...... and it did quite nicely

Depite the fact that it was grey when I got it and even now more weathered cos I didn't protect it other than put it up on some sleepers, the heart wood is in excellent shape, protected by the sapwood I'd guess, 99.9% sure it's a Cadaghi

With the help of the crane I lifted the log up and set it on a bit of a slope

No hassle putting this 4 inch thick slab onto the trailer, I did have to get a bit closer cos I needed to shorten up the jib

Hi Pete,
Nice score, lucky they didn't charge you to take it away

Nice bit of recycling there, amazing what gets thrown away.
Nothing like letting hydraulics take the strain out of the job
