How long will artists be able to get beautiful clear logs like this? It was estimated it was 800 years old. To grow like this without knots it grew in a forest as a seedling. Heavy logging will make it impossible to find trees like this in the future. Forests need to be preserved to provide an environment where this type of growth is possible. Trees like this should not be cut for lumber. They should only be used for respectful activities like this artist practices.
