Tom set to work with a chainsaw - a long way from the rest of us, partly for safety, partly because of noise!
The tools of the trade
Lunch break
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
Not perfect style
Thinking about the next cut
Yes, I am the mad axeman
Biting in
And down she goes
The last tree of the day
My day's work - mainly birch trees.
Other people had been cutting other stuff - a mix of birch and hazel brashings
Hazel poles
Bow saws work well on smaller stuff
Sorting hazel poles for transport
Another pile of birch logs
Bundling hazel poles for transport
Meanwhile Tom had been working with a chain saw
Clearing a lot of birch
More birch logs (these are some of Tom's)
My little car at the top of the forest
