...Because the timber is worked green we need to get it
...green, which means a spending a day in the forest.
...First a tree is selected and felled (using a chain saw).
...It is then cut into lengths roughly the height of a
...Green Wood Chair. These sections are too heavy to lift
...and are split along their lengths using time-honoured
...tools - wedges, mallets and a froe. Once small enough
...to lift, the timber pieces are transported to our
...workshop where they are kept green by storing them
...under water until we are ready to use them.
