Schu Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 didn't they 'CHOP' the trunk then finish the tree off by 'SAWING' thru from the back side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think so. There are no chop marks present. It's a hand saw through and through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I can vouch for the longevity of redwood. The bugs avoid it like the plague. I pulled out some 4 x 4 redwood posts from my Ohio yard that were buried for almost 50 years to relocate them and they were pristine clean with no paint on them. I just stared at them in disbelief and wonderment then put them back in the ground in another spot. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I think I know why they cut so many of them down, and I do understand your point @geezin' Too many resources that could have been more valuable to our lives if left intact have been squandered. That first picture where that long saw appears buckled halfway up? It's been around and was in my 1969 or `70 World Book Encyclopedia set santa brought me. Imagine how many millions of these there were in backyards across the country by the mid 70s! This one might be made a little upscale and is $1k but I think sears had them for forty bucks back when they were reputable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
