The tree removal company had landed a giant trunk from a Himalayan Cedar tree in our rose garden and needed to be removed. After some investigative work, we found a relative of a friend that knew someone who could help. The answer was Alastair from the Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking, who supplied the expertise, manpower and equipment to remove the log from a challenging position, without damaging the garden, then drag it to the milling machine and convert the log into a number of exotically grained slabs suitable, after drying, for making some very fine furniture. We are excited that the cedar log can now be used in such an environmentally friendly way and our rose garden can continue to bloom.
