| #4. Large tree
This is likely a tree from the coast - why do you think that? (size, weather, species)
100 years ago, trees this size were logged - today, we use much smaller trees and we use all of the tree. There is not as much waste as there used to be.
It would take about two days to work through the tree. Do you see any safety gear yet?
How did they get the trees out of the bush?
Which way do you think the tree will fall?
What tools are they using? (axe and springboard - they would cut a wedge in the tree and then put a plank in it so they could stand on the plank to get to the position of the tree they wanted. This was done, because back then, the flair at the bottom of the tree was undesirable and if there had been any rot in that area of the tree, they would only cut the part above it)
