Gregory's Server'The Japanese Daisugi technique for growing trees started in the 14th century and have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees. Trees are pruned similar to a bonsai tree and the wood is cut as uniform, straight and without knots.'

 @Sardonicus this is really beautiful. It’s super interesting that the cedar wood is 200% stronger. That’s amazing! @Sardonicus Absolutely stunning technique, one desperately needed to be taught to conserve our trees. |

Harvesting wood without killing tree is the way of living back then. Too sad we forgot this way.
> Before the Industrial Revolution, a lot of wood was harvested from living trees, which were coppiced. The principle of coppicing is based on the natural ability of many broad-leaved species to regrow from damaged stems or roots – damage caused by fire, wind, snow, animals, pathogens, or (on slopes) falling rocks. Coppice management involves the cutting down of trees close to ground level, after which the base – called the “stool” – develops several new shoots, resulting in a multi-stemmed tree.
