A curse on fence wire

[British Red]

Hi, it was a present from Cegga (Mik Cronga at Hultafors). Its a cracking design because its profile matches a splitting wedge. One good smack, remove maul, wedge in, flip maul, hammer. When I have the desired number of wedges in, I drive them with a heavier sledge. Best maul I've ever used. They are noe available in the UK but they aren't cheap!

I've a video on tree processing coming up in a few weeks. It features in that.

Ah, the legendary Cegga. I didn’t know he designed a maul. Yes, it’s the shape of the thing I found appealing, it looks ‘right’. At first I thought it might bind, but I see how it‘s been shaped to split wood without it having the club like profile of the standard maul.

On the wire, I’ve hit loads of it during my life. And nails, staples, bomb shrapnel in old London trees, but the biggest pain was an old style metal clothes line post that a Sycamore had incorporated in itself. It didn’t matter where I went in with the saw, I just kept hitting metal.

Oh blimey that post sounds a nightmare!

This aspen decided that the air is bluer on the other side of the fence.

It truly was. I was felling the tree and though I’d topped and de-limbed it, there was still a fairly tall trunk. I cut the gob out and came in from the back only to hit the post. The trunk was like a wobbly tooth so I had to excavate the pole by chipping out wood and get an angle grinder to it. Only tree I’ve ever felled with an angle grinder.

I've never done that but the section of this one with wire was split partially using bolt croppers
