I am part of another list that deals with the use ( and misuse) of
woodworking tools.... hand powered woodworking tools.

The drool down my chin at the sight of a wonderful oak tree, was purely
dog-like.  On my list they would have felled the tree using axes...), rolled
them to the curb, split them into useful chunks,  and then waited maybe 5-10
years to saw them ( by hand) into useable boards.......

Or...... as I suspect...

Call out a tree specialist that will cut the tree into useful boards which
you the allow to dry for about 1-2 years in your back yard.  Then the tree
would have been made into.......  dressers, bookshelves, kitchen cabinets,
coffee tables, dining room tables, occasional tables, workbenches, .. you
get the point.....free wood makes good furniture.....!

Oh well, I have a garage full of wood now..... no room for yet another
tree......
