virtually bald.


A lot of that old growth that ended up in barns and such is being reclaimed
by woodworkers. I take a bit of joy in that. I sure wish we had saved a
reasonable percentage of the original trees back in the past.

Being a conservative, I also believe in conservation.

It would be neat as heck to go walking through a 1700's Michigan forrest. I
bet it looked nothing like what the local woods do now.
