Chainsaw overtime

It was a milestone today with the last of the trees on the main picnic site having its branches removed. Slowly but surely we are winning

The trunk serves as a good separation between the rest of the picnic area and the Xhosa ruins so we may leave it there for kids to clamber on.

Then the seat sawn out of a log had been work in progress for too long so that got finished and added to the braai furniture.

This is all the furniture we are going to provide, so far mainly positive comments. The carvings have been a nice touch.

One of the dead blue gums on the way to the braai threatened to fall over any time and in fact had previously dropped some branches so I tried to talk Goodman into cutting it down but ran out of patience and did it myself. I was warned that it would be quite hard to cut but in fact the wood was quite soft and the tree was cut up and removed in no time.

Timber!!!
