Forestry Memories

Peeling timber poles Morayshire

Lovely action image of operator working as he peels four inch poles possibly destined to be deer fence posts with a second man just visible stacking the peeled products for drying.

This Cundey peeler is being driven off a tractor PTO shaft. They still make these machines and amazingly the double tyre rotation wheels still feature on the present day design. Can anyone name the men who could be part of the Speymouth Forest workforce around 1971?
