At first, I thought that I would refuse this work. The wild cherry tree
which has grown in the mountain slope is good timber. However, the tree
of a schoolyard has the too well-bred hard fault of being out of order.
I went to discuss and was moved to the strength of their feeling. And the
kind of cherry tree turned out to be not Somei Yoshino but a wild cherry
tree, and I decided to do.
The general contractor of new school building construction cuts down. I
went out in advance and performed marking (directions of the position to
cut) by the color spray.

The cherry tree before felling of the Atomi women's university.
It was planted at the time of school foundation, and the age of a tree
is around 35. A wooden diameter is about 55cm. It was surprised by growth
speed. |
Conveyance and sawmill.
After felling, I and the man of a sawmill went to take over trees. It is
a splendid quantity. According to a use, trees are sawed up in four kinds
of thickness. Many trees were sawed up at once and my head also got tired
considerably. Since quick judgment was required.

Peeling. And the pile for dryness.
Peeling and a pile took for three days. The expense so far was paid. Charges for custody were made into no charge. Since I am a country woodwork store.

Progress.
Although only that was peeled, the insect stuck. Many small holes opened
to sapwood. Boards distorted or broke the first half a year. Use became
difficult one third of boards. However, heartwood had little distortion.
Anyway, these boards were very hard and heavy. |

year. 50 flower stands was made with the board with a thickness of 36mm.
