Few more.
There's one I have somewhere where the tree is so big that there's a lady on a horse stood in the backcut, I'll find it at some point and post it up when I do.

Some of the infrastructure they had to build from wood in order to move all that wood away to where it was needed.

Not as dramatic as the big Redwoods, but something I found on a big Beech in my wood. Somehow I find it strangely touching, I wonder if the carver ever returned to the tree? 'Between the wars' they obviously survived the first. I'm fairly confident it's 1924, I wonder if he wore a striped blazer and straw Boater or she had a 'Flapper'hat and danced the Charleston?..

Astonishing but it made me so sad to see it. Those giants are simply beautiful.

Completely agree. Whilst admiring the skill and enterprise of those folks, and acknowledging that times were different, it never fails to depress me how good we are at killing things.
