Message:: [QUOTE="Léonce, post: 203934, member: 3798"]I understand your point about the saw mill, but still I've seen very precise wood works made by old antique saw mills type. I've spent a good career to renovate old buildings structures, specialized in wood and masonry structures and one of the renovation quality of works consisted to reproduce within our modern days the old wooden works, using old tools and old methods. The oldest building I had the chance to study and work was originally built in 700 AD in Europe. Sometimes, it is amazing to realize how some type of very precise works were done some few hundred years ago. In North America we are not used to be in front of majestic and huge works that were done a thousand year ago. Some wood work in Europe is so amazing sometimes that it would be impossible to be redone, just because those parts of the trees do not exist anymore. I mean by that, the trees were so huge and old. See on the back of the sculpture; the mark of the saw is only in the middle part of the wood piece. Each other sides do not have any marks. And the wood seems to be relatively smooth. By the way, thanks a lot for your comments. [ATTACH=full]58799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
