Felling trees is exciting and scary, and there are different ways of bringing those big ones down. I always say Timber! when I see one come down. If Larry is cutting a bigger one down for firewood, I like to be there 'just in case'.

One of our carpenter friends said that the lumber you buy in the stores today is not generally as strong as what a person used to be able to buy. It is because they are harvesting younger trees was his reasoning. The lumber from your family's fallen tree should be wonderful.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-70998521137919173222017-01-21T09:56:42.946-06:002017-01-21T09:56:42.946-06:00They are a wonderful tree.

We rarely ever see them in our area but those two have been growing there a long time. The old town's name was Xenia. I cut down a very old, ugly cider tree before I added my addition to the house. I still have little ciders coming up from those roots 30 years later.L.

The way they climbed that thing, power saw in hand was scary. I was glad when it was over, but like looking at a car crash, I couldn't look away.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-34683009691822962842017-01-21T08:45:41.499-06:002017-01-21T08:45:41.499-06:00After a tree is cut down, it leaves a "hole&q...After a tree is cut down, it leaves a "hole" in the sky. It will take a period of time to adjust to the tree's departure. Thrilled to hear the tree is being used for lumber for the new addition. <br /><br />Reading this post brought images of the pioneers clearing ground and starting their new lives in the frontier. The tree has seen a lot of history.

I always feel that cutting s big tree down is like taking a life and kind of a sacred moment when a blessing should be said.
