Peeling Trees

I never would have thought that peeling bark off trees would be a therapeutic and an almost spiritual experience, but it is! We cut down over a dozen cedar trees from our cedar forest to use as posts in our bohemian cabin. We’ll use three for the front porch (the bigger ones), some in the great room, master bedroom and as posts along the deck in the back.

The trees are easy to peel if you do it immediately following being cut down. All you need is a flat head screwdriver or something similar to get a hold of a piece and pull! The smooth, almost soft tree underneath is so beautiful with all it’s curves. I would pat each tree after completion and complement it and thank it for being part of our new home.
