DIY lumber cutting for tank stands - pic warning

[unprofessional]

Very neat. Practice good forestry and plant a tree for each one you cut down.

The craftmanship is superb! Definitely will try that in the future once I'm financially secure.

Pity you gotta wait months before you can use it. Still fun to cut down 70 year old living organisms, eh?

Fun not to read the words in the first post and then respond in an impolite way, eh?

First off.. go and find an unwanted tree. Best to check it's not something rare or the last of the Amazon rain forest. This is a big old Monterey cypress growing on a friends farm. They were planted many years ago as shelter trees on local farms. Now they are overgrown, huge, falling over etc and need to be removed.
