I thought lumberjacks, skipped, jumped, ate scones, and put on women's clothing and hung around in bars.

Ffffuuuuu these things always branch out into puns. What is the root of this trend? I'm going to pack my trunk and leaf.

[–]Theoz 0 points1 point ago

oddly enough, I never see the multi puns get a lot of points. I'm not sure why.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Hardly anybody likes puns. Goes against their grain. (I can't stop...somebody finish me off.)

[–]Theoz 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Soon enough they'll be barking at you to stop. Forgot to mention, I know not where the trend stems from. I like pun threads treeted with respect, though. I respect them, fir sure. Our-burst of multi puns is kick ass though. Plants.

My uncle does this kind of stuff with a chainsaw. He is a weird guy but it is awesome to watch the process.

[–]loercase 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Looks like the faller is making a visual pun based on the barber chair, which is what you call a stump when it doesn't split cleanly but instead leaves a massive vertical side of the tree standing, looking like the back of a chair.

[–]DialSquare 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow that's pretty cool. Won't the chair keep growing though? Albeit it won't be that quickly, but the tree is still alive (I'm assuming). Actually, how sweet would that be, to come back in about 30 years and see a chair carved out at the top of a tree?

[–]loercase 6 points7 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The inner wood of a tree is essentially "dead" and can't really come back. If enough of the bark was remaining and the tree had energy to put out new leaves, then yes, it might. Some tree species are much hardier than others as well and will sucker like crazy, in which case even a clean cut wouldn't kill it. With most big softwoods, though, any loss of bark connection between the roots and leaves will kill the tree. This is sometimes done on purpose to easily kill junk trees without falling them, and it's called "ringbarking" or "girdling."

Hahaha, I'm also editing to say that even if the tree grew the chair would not be pushed to the top! Trees grow from the top, and they don't lift things as they grow. Cute comment though!

"Lumberjacks hobby?" sounds like it would be a crossword clue that I couldn't figure out and would frustrate the fuck out of me.

See that one dark leg? Great. You got rid of the unsafe tree. Now you'll get sued over the unsafe chair.

i wish they had at least carved the chair like 20 feet up the trunk and cut rungs into the side.

In a town not too far from me, someone did something like this. It wasn't as elaborate, but they carved a fairly decent chair out of a big old stump. I've always wanted to know what king carved that throne...

But they also like to put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.

He works all night and he sits all day, just like a construction crew.

You'd need to be a woodcarver, not a lumberjack.

[–]liezuvelis[S] 3 points4 points ago

So If lumberjack, after cutting dow a tree, with the same chainsaw makes a chair he's woodcarver?
