I made a once in a career blunder and flush cut this Ash Tree. I’m beside myself. Is it possible I have a warrant for my arrest?

Bro……ugly. Disregarding the stupidity of that cut angle and your crime against a species that is seriously threatened: the cut marks are wild. How in the world? Your saw looks like it has a bent bar or uneven teeth left to right. The way you staked and fanned repeatedly is odd for this type of cut. I’m not sure what you did for the notch. At least you didn’t peel it. You should never cut another tree.
12 years dungeon!
Floggong with your own dull chains…
To the wood pile!
Run!
If you make enough cuts in your career, you’re bound to screw one up.
But it is well done! A Legend is born!
wow what an ashhole, you are flush out of luck, I wood run if I were you, Every branch of the Arborist Secret Society is now after you. They will stop it nothing to root out your location. So be sure to leaf no trail and don’t bother packing your trunk you don’t have time.
Take him out to the woodshed
I’ll check the logbook.
Emerald Ash beetle will make this irrelevant soon 🙁
I mean shit bro, looks like a line clearance cut to me!
Seal it up to make up for it
Big ass cut to be making in the first place, was there a good reason?
Believe it or not, straight to jail
Non-arborist here, just a guy here to learn and who really likes trees. What’s wrong with this cut, so I dont make the same mistake?
May God have mercy on your soul
Thats a paddlin
I put it to the Panel of Arborists that, u/iSeeYouMr be Pardoned for reasoning as follows: – Rather than attempting to deceive, u/iSeeYouMr has willingly presented us with photos of the mistake, which has also been acknowledged, as well as described as a ‘once in a career blunder’.
– In coming forward before anyone else could report the blunder, the act of facing consequences which may not have been necessary and may never had otherwise been known, takes larger balls than the majority of Arborists.
– Given the the possibility of u/iSeeYouMr balance being affected and directly impacting the angle of the cut, may have been caused by the weight of larger balls?
– Remorse has been shown, punishment virtually requested by the Arborist and no doubt the Ash Tree shall be compensated accordingly with water and fertiliser and recover.
In summary, I feel that u/iSeeYouMr shows promising signs of what it takes to continue the career and should retain the title ’Arborist’.
Isn’t that enough collar? I’ve seen flush cuts and they are literally flush with the trunk.
Second look, isn’t this as good as it gets? Looks like he got it within an inch of the end of the bulge.
I think first offense is about 10 years
