    Default interested in helping me salvage a gum tree??

    Hello All,

    Just thought I'd post this here to see if anyone in the Perth area (Bassendean to be specific) is interested in milling a very large gum tree that I may have to remove... obviously I would make myself available to help in whatever capacity I could.

    I say maybe as it is a possibility that the tree guy may do a safety prune... which I assume will be removing a portion of the canopy to hopefully stop the tree from coming down in a storm etc... and this would obviously produce less usable timber to mill if any.

    I don't think this pruning will work but I'm not an expert.

    With that in mind I am preparing for the likelyhood of having a massive amount of wood being removed to the tip and this doesn't sit well with me as I recon the timber should be salvaged.

    Just to be clear I am not selling anything, if you are prepared to mill the wood it is yours and maybe I could keep some in exchange for labour on the job .

    To give you an idea of size the tree is on a 1/4 acre plot and the canopy covers the back third of the property

    If the tree does get cut down I would ask the company to leave any sizeable / suitable lengths for milling if someone is keen to do this otherwise I will get it all taken away as I don't want to spend the $$$ to get gear that I would only use once.

    Anyone interested??

    Steve

    I would suggest some description of the tree, species (gum is pretty broad ) and of course photos, if possible, will help and encourage anyone in your area to come forward.

    You are certainly going about it the right way.

    Regards

    Sorry guys, should have put a bit more info on the type of tree.

    It is a river red gum and I will try and post a picture... but I only have a picture on my phone I will have to figure out how to get the picture off my phone... bear with me as technology is not my strong point.

    I will endeavor to do this tonight.

    comgreserv I will PM you shortly so you can have a look if interested.
