tree_beard

im sure a fair few of you have heard of graeme and possibly seen vids featuring his work before posted by ekka and on rbtree's youtube vids, but i have never seen any links to the vids on graeme's company site....

so here they are;

Sherbrooke Tree Service Tahune2

a huge snag takedown at tahune forest airwalk tazmania

*Sherbrooke Tree Service Jaguar Grants

and an interesting bit of pre-crane rigging....

Hi and thanks very much Treebeard for your contribution!

Graeme and his son Angus are actually members here and have participated in threads before as well as Angus posting up their videos.

Both great videos, I enjoyed them both as well as the reast of the board. I tell ya their videos are few and far between, but jeez the gap is overcome with their quality.

What a video's and what a trees. In Holland we don't have trees like that.
What is the height of that stump??? And what was the height when it was still a living tree??

i realise graeme and angus post here from time to time, but i hadnt seen these vids linked, and thought more folk should see them and bow down to the greatness of the mcmahons


i'd certainly pay money for a feature length film or two of their big jobs... amazing stuff

In this thread there's plenty info.

The trees are Eucalyptus regnanas (Australian Mountain Ash)

Eucs were tallest trees in the world, big wood Aussie logging, world's tallest trees

Also look through Acemasters videos and pictures.

This is the only online info I could find on the Mineral Tree, a douglas fir that succumbed in the 1930's. It was "documented" at 391 feet tall. I think the euc story that tells of a tree that was supposedly 435 feet tall is more folklore than fact.

Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: Conifers of the Cascade Range 3rd paragraph. Funny, this info is on a friend's website predominately about backcountry skiing.
