Timber!

27 Jan 2016

Beso was back to finish the trees, with the big chainsaw.  We couldn't bear to look.  He climbed the tree, tied off a rope, came back down, and while his friend held the rope to steer the fall, he cut the trunk.  There was a solid booming thud as each one came down in turn. 

 An action shot, snapped on the run, as the pole toppled sooner than I expected.

 I asked for this multi-stump to be left cut at different lengths.  We can make bee holes in it, and use it as a feature in some way.

 I suggested one of the big stump cuttings could be used as a coffee table, and Beso liked that idea, cutting several smaller chunks into stools and more tables.  The main poles were otherwise cut into 3m lengths so we can use them around the house, possibly.
