[Joash]

shame..shame, sending those burls off to America

[Skewpid]

Those are just incredible ... what can I say:eek:

[rsser]

Oh my.

I want the burl on the flatbed truck for Xmas. Might just fit on the Stubby. What's Santa's address?????

[Cliff Rogers]

Pass.... My chiropractor already makes enough money.

Who, in their right mind, would post a boast page showing off their rego plate while nicking burls in the bush?

Kind of contra-indicated isn't it?

Tell me though, I thought cutting the burls off could kill the tree. How do you know it doesn't harm them?

Bit like Ford v Holden.....
It is fairly hard to kill some gum trees, even cutting them off at ground level doesn't work.
The theory against say that it lets infection in but, lots of gum trees live for years with dead branches that are hollowed out with possums & birds living in them.

Thanks Cliff, I learned something. I never really questioned what I'd heard before.

Groggy, Ive seen heaps of trees that have had burls cut off them and they are still thriving, lots seem to get new brabches coing from the cut area.

[Joash]

That seriously has given dad and I some ideas. Our chainsaws is bigger than his, and those goldfield burls looked good.

No they seriously have got us thinking!!

[Groggy]

Joash, check with the forest elves (Rangers) before going at it. That way you may get to keep your vehicle and chainsaws. Dunno what the laws are over there but I don't recommend anyone going for it without approval on crown land.

Hi Joash,

If you are thinking of collecting burls,I would be checking out any regulations for your state, as most states require you to be licensed to collect burls

[rsser]

Pretty sure you have to have a license to harvest burls Joash.
