  2. Very very nice, love the art! Always been a sucker for street-art. Very nice tune to go with it aswell;One of my favourites at the moment a Swedish guy that calls him self "The Tallest Man on Earth" and his tune Graceland. Hope they benefit from the project!
  3. Thats not quite the picture in Sweden. We have 300 000 private owners here most of the are small owners where 200 000 own 5-49 hectares rest of them own up to 400 hectares, average is 55 hectares. All in all they own about 10 575 000 hectares. The goverment owns a lot of the forrest and a few major forrestcompanys the rest, probably Stora Enzo beeing the biggest one. They also own several papermills and are producing all the paper for all IKEA catalogues distributed all over the world.... The felling licence isnt a common thing, but do exist. Its not the way the forrests are maintained. Usually they buy a few trees "on root" and deal with felling and extraction themselves, hardly a lucrative thing....just to get some "cheap" firewood (cheap cause they are not counting their own labour) The way we do it is hiring in a harvester and let the profit go into the maintenence side of parks etc... Local councils do own some forrests but not any substantial really...

  13. In anticipation of more information on the subject, let's enjoy a bit of derailing... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxiERdwOuCk]YouTube - ‪Agnetha Fältskog Gulleplutt ( Sweetheart ) ( 1974 )‬‏[/ame] She is still pleasing to the eye and has a voice of an angel. Monkey-D....she's all yours!!!
  14. I wouldn't go as far as he is "Slating" the whole idea of Mr Shigos findings...merly stating that his findings mightn't be the whole truth. Mr Slaters findings are, in my opinion, very interesting and give a whole new perspective on how branches and forks are joined into the main trunk. I think Shigos model is true as it has been stated previously, but I wonder if he ever studied tight forks? The findings of Mr Slater will be interesting to follow. The whole new notion of whorled grain is something I will look closely for when I rip forks apart... Nice pic by the way!
  15. Failing? Whats wrong with some gatecraching? There ought to be some arb with a mog that would like to come along...
