Enough monkeying around, back to business!

From the sky blue water of a cenote in Mexico last week to a small gale in Belgium today, talk about hitting the ground running!

Stacked, stickered and ready to start drying. These oak slabs we cut a couple of weeks ago are about 8 centimeters thick, so they have to dry for about three years. The slower the drying, the less cracks and splits, so patience is key. Now it seems like forever before we'll be able to start working with this wood, but in about two years we won't find the time to process it all.

Anybody interested in buying some slabs? Leave a comment! ;)

Thanks for letting me take up all that space, . I'll trade you some nice oak slabs for it!

Starting a new hobby can be a bit daunting at first, but after a while you pick up little tricks that make the process more efficient. YouTube holds a huge amount of information shared by enthusiasts who love sharing their knowledge.

This walnut tree (Juglans Regia) was dying, and we caught it just before the decay from the branches spread to the trunk. It would have been a shame to miss out on this beautiful wood. This is what makes milling trees so exciting, every slab reveals new patterns and colours.

These slabs are 5 centimeters thick, which means they have to air dry for about two years. Then they need further drying in the kiln to get the moisture content even more down for indoor use.













Always a happy Saturday with

Never stop learning!

The Single Rope Technique course was interesting and fun at the same time. Always great to meet like-minded people with a passion for trees.

Single Rope Technique focuses more on the use of one's legs, making the climbing more ergonomical. Redirects in the crown create more efficient workpositioning.

Trying out different kinds of gear is perfect to find the climbing style that suits best.

Thank you Condor Safety bv and for the fantastic course.

Recently I got the fantastic opportunity to work as an arborist in Sweden for two months. Victor Van Deuren from The Netherlands has been living here for quite some time now. The summer months, with long daylight hours, are the busiest time of the year. Looking forward to learning a couple of new tricks!

What a difference two months make.
It's incredible how quickly the garden transforms in springtime. We've had lots of rain recently, and the effect it has on the garden is unbelievable. The plants jostle for space, flowers pop up everywhere and insects and butterflies don't know where to go first. It's a privilege to enjoy nature in your own backyard.

Hi, I am Emiel Mogensen, and I’m proud to introduce Arbo Loco Boomzorg!

I have been passionate by nature in general and trees in particular, ever since I climbed my first tree when I was a child. For the past 10 years or so I have been working in my father’s landscaping business, benefitting extensively by all his accumulated knowledge.

Now the time has come to specialize in –what is for me - nature’s most majestic specimen: the trees!
I love to work in and around trees, always keeping in mind what’s best for the tree.

At Arbo Loco we are truly Crazy about Trees!
