Timber

I walked by the wood shop yesterday and saw this. They are restocking the lumber yard right now.

Check out the size of this tree.









How do you cut down a tree this size?

Gwen, I hope you are coping well right now. Feeling the peace requested for you. Anyway, anytime I see something to do with timber, logs, lumber, I always think of my Dad. Once we attempted to harvest a very old and large in diameter oak tree. Our tools were inadequate for the job. We probably suffered more loss in trying to get this huge log to the sawmill than what it was worth. We even attempted to use an old crosscut saw that produced a humorous moment for my reflection now. My Dad was trying to teach me the proper technique but it seems I could not get the hang of it. So, Dad just tossed the crosscut aside with a muffled word or two and we found another solution. Not ofter that I saw that sort of reaction from my Dad.

Blessing,
Dexter
