In Response To: Link, I hope. (Todd McGlaun)

Hi All

Well no

I have no guilt what so ever building a kayak or a 200 foot yacht out of the best piece of wood I can find!!

That is in my opinion far better than having it burnt for pasture for cows to feed on for a year or being converted into paper. Some of the best Sitka spruce is read daily. What a waste!!!

And for that matter the forest management capabilities of certain Norther American countries is matched only by their ability to manage their fish resources.

So! Feel guilty about slash burning, paper, and framing timber. Not wooden boats & fine furniture.
