Once upon a time we had a beautiful black cherry tree living beside our house.  Mature. Reaching<\/div>\n
for the patch of blue sky above our spruce grove. Then we cut it down.   The reason we did this<\/div>\n
is not clear because that happened years ago.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Waste not want not.  We had the logs cut into lengths for the saw mill and what resulted is in<\/div>\n
the final picture below.  In short, the cherry tree is still with us\u2026used every day.  In this case<\/div>\n
loaded with special entertainment foods as Marjorie has everything set for a game of bridge<\/div>\n
with her friends.

The Black Cherry tree is gone.  Sort of.  Not really gone. Let\u2019s say transformed.  Look out the window.  That is where the tree once stood.  Now it still<\/div>\n
stands nearby loaded with food.<\/div>\n

Black cherry trees make wonderful furniture as the planks age to a deep reddish colour\u2026warm, inviting,  But do not eat the wood or<\/div>\n
chew the sawdust.  Poisonous.   The wild cherries, however, are sort of edible. Birds love them.   As for the logs, it is a shame that so<\/div>\n
many wild cherry trees are cut into firewood.   That should never happen.  The new saw mills, using heavy duty band saw blades can<\/div>\n
convert logs into lumber cheaply.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
