Using the trusty old “bore in then cut to release” technique to create some natural looking shards on this old beech tree. We were pruning it to remove the weight bias towards the path and the torn ends help to hide the work, leaving a natural look. Brush stacked to discourage sheep damaging the buttress roots when they come back in the summer. #ancienttrees #vetcert
