Period Correct Wood

[musketman]

Across the street from me there once stood three red oak trees, just hacked down less than a week ago... :boohoo:

I was feeling better today so I bundled up and went out and had a look at the aftermath from the developers massacre...

I counted 164 rings on the larger tree, the heart wood is solid and true, the scavengers picked the branches clean for firewood (they were on it like a pack of dogs on a three legged cat) and left a long 5 foot section of the main trunk detatched from the roots...

This tree sprouted in 1840, the year the mountain man era ended, The sappling turned 21 at the outbreak of the Civil War and continued growing until 2004...

The grain of the wood is tight and free of trunk rot, so there is period correct planks of wood there, free for the taking... :winking:

I'm sure I can roll it across the street... :haha: :winking:

What are you saying Musketman?

Do you mean it's not Gods plan to replace all the wooden trees with ones made of concrete and steel?
And he didn't really intend for us to replace the fall leaf carpet of the forest with pavement?
Or maybe your implying that if we can't grow it in our lifetime then we should'nt be so quick to cut it?
And I know we all believe that when we move into the homes of the deer and cougar, that they will simply move someplace else, because there are plenty of places left for them to live.
And that when all the farm land is covered and we can't grow food, that manna will fall from the sky.
And when all the streams are polluted we will simply drink rain.
And of course, the big one, that we are building a better world for our children.

Sorry, just ranting :curse:
