@JudyEv You did nothing wrong, so you have the right to get the timber.

@LadyDuck I might need to go and give it a push. :) I thought with all the rain we'd had the living one might fall over but it hasn't yet.

That's true but if it would just fall to the ground now, we could have the timber.

Obviously they are not experienced at tree cutting, the wages of sin and all that lol

@JudyEv Does he use the "wedge and angle slice" method?

@TheHorse Yes. There is much contemplation and walking round and round before he decides where he'll cut. I shouldn't be rude about it as he is always spot on with dropping it. :)

Exactly. We've cut down a couple on our own place and so far Vin has always managed to drop them where he wants them.

Heh. On my property in Montana, that would probably look the same in 100 years.

@JudyEv My dying trees fall, and just stay there until they eventually rot. I harvest only young but sick (pine beetle, they call it) Douglas Fir for my bridge and fence.

@TheHorse We were in Wilson's Promontory once in Victoria (with a Clydesdale pair and a gypsy wagon - eat your heart out!) and each night we'd want to have a campfire but the wood was all wet and half rotten.

Because trees grow slowly? We first saw this one about 12 or 13 years ago.

It may fall down in another storm and then it is ready to be taken away.

@JudyEv I happen to like it!

I suppose, I could write a scenario where you and Vince go looking for firewood....

a gust of wind blasts through and releases the cut trees and drops them at your feet

.... but then you'd probably make me help you cut the wood and carry it back to your house

! That just seems like too much work to me

! I'm leaving both cut trees hanging until the end of time... or when I'm busy elsewhere....

They would have been really annoyed. We'd like to have the wood but we can't work out how to get it down either. :)

@JudyEv Yes, getting it down definitely seems to be problematic.

@The_Bong_Woman It would need to be done with great care. Felling trees can be dangerous work.

it looks like a lift that they do in choreographed dances, if you have seen? When the guy lifts the girl up above him?

It does look a bit like that. Maybe I should make a tutu for the 'girl'. I wonder if the 'boy' will eventually get sick of holding her up and they'll both come tumbling down? We'd have a lot of lovely wood to collect then.

It's been there 13 years but we live in the hope that it will come down one day - and that we'll still be fit enough to saw it up and cart it home. We'd bring it down ourselves if we could think of a safe way to do it.

The only good it will be to human need is when the support tree too will fall. Till then, I'd say it served them right. Nature can get back at you too

Yes, we are hoping that the support tree will fall one day. There is a lot of good wood there that we would like to harvest.

Fortunately, we now have a gas burning stove where the wood burning stove once was. We do have lots of fallen trees in our woods. You are welcome to come and get them. They are also hung up on other trees and look awful! My husband is a master tree cutter and gets them to fall exactly where he wants, but no tree cutting for him anymore, if ever again.

We saw a YouTube clip the other day where a VERY incompetent tree cutter was trying to cut down a tree and ended up demolishing his shed. There is a bit of an art to it, isn't there?

The photo you posted, are these the kind of wood you have in your area? I guess they're good ones for firewood too. Anyhow, there are also wood in other areas of life. Our wood can represent something we dream of achieving. The size of the wood depends on the size of our dreams. We can bring down a wood by the use of cutting tools. The best tools can bring it down easily like our best tools in life can allow us to bring down our dreams in life. anyhow, enjoy the wooden fire with your loved ones.

This is typical bush country where I live. Marri (red gum) and jarrah are common. Marri isn't so good for burning.

It does have an intriguing shape to it. Looks like a clever piece of modern sculpture.
