Blog Post #1 Timber Harvest

Today for class work, in my technology class we were told to watch a video on how they harvested wood in the early 1900s. A part that I found interesting was that the amount of circles on the inner part of the wood is the amount of years the tree has been able to breath. Another thing that caught my eye is how the job is very different now. The materials they use now are safe and used with electric power, though back then they didn’t have such safe machines. The tools that they have were hand saws, and hammers, these tools are very dangerous. Overall the process cutting is very big over the years and we are very lucky to have safe machines.
