They are wasting the trees. Whatever you do to a freshly cut tree, it will be something different when it dries.
Yikes. That axe action is dangerous. He'll lose his nads like that.
+SerJahPhoto the timber will move as it shrinks but it will still work. Most traditional wood crafts would have worked the timber to size while it was still green, except for work that needed to be water tight like coopering or shipwright's work.
Funny how we cant let go of the past.
Good grief, can you imagine the noise of a heap of blokes hacking away at tree trunks?
The sad thing is that the vast majority of people have no idea of how this skill could help them through their life in very practical things like getting a house, saving money not to mention the sense of achievement ans selfsuffinciency embedded. We live in times where we need this so much, and yet, we are being happily, and firmly pushed away from this, especially in UK and USA. People wake up, there is a something awaiting us, and you see the clues in every aspect of our lives. By the way, TTIP is going to be approved by EU. There is nowhere to escape anymore.
+hallets1956 I can and it doesn't sound too bad. Trees are tall, as such, they run the risk of killing people within their immediate vicinity should they fall. Therefore, it's more than likely that tree fellers worked reasonable distances from one another.
