That's how you can also tell how old Hollywood actresses are. Xray their necks and count the rings.
@ Gracie, thanks for sharing that was really interesting. We have some polar trees in the backyard. The previous owners said that the trees were there long before the house.
And this organism was slain and cut to pieces so we could build shelters that probably lasted a decade or less.
Sounds more like abject ignorance to me.Poetic license, goob.
I live in a wooden house built in 1945.Sounds more like abject ignorance to me.Poetic license, goob.
What was the temperature of the wood in 1799?There are wooden houses in the northeast built in the 1700s. There are wooden buildings in Europe and Asia built in the 600s. However, that is an unlikely span for a modern structure even ignoring the changes in structure. Note that I did NOT say that it would only last a decade due to the nature of wood. My comment was comparing the lifespan of a modern house (or other wooden structure) to the span of that particular tree.
If you were in complete charge and were given the responsibility of deciding whether to cut such a tree down for the profit of selling its wood or to leave it standing for it's own innate worth, what would you do?
