Clearing the driveway! This was a recent job where a very large tree fell across the road. Needed to clear the road for the customer. This one was almost too large for me to manage.

One of my friends Stephen Wessling owns Renaissance Reclaimed in Decatur. If you love the natural beauty of wood, you will love their creations!

Sale: to celebrate the opening of their new showroom in downtown Decatur, they are offering a $500 credit toward the purchase of a kitchen cabinet set… For the next 10 new customers who set up an appointment (posting this June 2, 2024).

I have helped them source wood in the past, and there’s something very special about purchasing something crafted from North Alabama grown trees. Hope you enjoy their site!

A huge shout out to Pamela Perry with Hidden Glory Woodturning. Pamela is a Woodturning artist who I supply with wood in the Huntsville area, and is such an artist! Here are some photos of her work. If you are interested in a gift for yourself or someone you love, this would be a one-of-a kind. Also, if you have a treasured tree you unfortunately have to remove, you could commission her to make a bowl as a keepsake. 

My recent favorite was a gorgeous black walnut bowl with turquoise Seaglass inlay on the lip. Amazing! If you have interest, check her out on Facebook and Instagram at: hidden.glory.woodturning

This is the season where Bradford Pears start blooming, start smelling, and inevitably start falling apart. Beware!

Today’s job was a massive ornamental cherry tree stump plus mound and radiating roots. Total job length was 3 1/2 hours. No fun, but it turned out nice!

Tree forensics-large limb failure due to crossing limbs.

Large red maple tree approximately 30 to 40 years old, lost a very large limb (it was as large as a medium size tree) in the storms last night. The diameter of the limb was approximately the same as the trunk- 17”. The aspect ratio is approximately 1:1, and would generally indicate a weaker union. Conversely, the shape of the union was more U-shaped versus V-shaped. This can indicate a stronger union. The unusual factor here was the limb broke not at the union, but about three or 4 feet up. There was a crossing limb that had embedded itself into the top of the failed limb. It looked as if someone had taken the chainsaw and started cutting and then it split down from there. This is one of the reasons arborists will remove crossing limbs when properly pruning a tree… To avoid failures on down the road like this.

Cause:
1- High winds
2- large limb acting as a wind sail fully leafed
3- The “weakest link” on the limb was a defect caused by crossing limbs
