Chapter 444 What a big tree
"Let's go back, I'm going out tomorrow. Let's go back and have a break early today!" Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yibin began to call everyone to get in the car and go home. This time he was too lazy to move the roots back. Marc's carving studio has moved here from the store. I'll ask the workers to build a shed to cover the roots to avoid getting wet in the rain. Come here directly when you have to work, so as not to affect the normal operation of the store.
Ha'er, Xiao Liu, Bald Head Qiang got into the car in a hurry. Chen Yibin talked to the project manager of the construction unit again and gestured to the space needed for the shed.
For the construction unit, this was just a matter of random cleaning. He agreed without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will do it for you later. Even if it rains at night, I won't be able to wet the roots of these trees." This is nothing to waste, and he is too lazy to even mention the money.
"Thank you then. I'll bring you a bottle of wine when I come here next time." Although the other party didn't say that, Chen Yibin was embarrassed to take advantage of others for nothing. Well, a bottle of Monkey wine seems to be much more expensive than the labor cost? Sure enough, the free one is the most expensive! Chen Yibin felt a little distressed, but he didn't take it to heart. After drinking such good wine, those workers will definitely work harder, and the manor can be built early with quality and quantity.
Back in the store, I checked the road conditions of the forest farm on my phone tomorrow, and prepared all kinds of things I needed to travel. Wen Yuan called the person in charge of the forest farm in advance to explain his purpose. With the greetings from Qin Qing, the other party naturally welcomed him repeatedly.
Early the next morning, Chen Yibin took Wenyuan and all the pets produced by the future pet store in the store to go to the forest farm to find wood. Along the way, Wenyuan spread the information he found last night to Chen Yibin. "I checked and found that the trees in this forest farm can reach 30 meters high include hemlock, southwest birch, pine pine and Chinese toon. These trees are very straight and rarely twisted. They can cut off columns over 30 meters."
"However, not all tree species are suitable for carving. According to my research, the soft wood of pine wood is also very soft and has high moisture content, which can easily lead to cracking. This is a big defect for carving, so let's first eliminate the Simao pine. Although the wood is delicate and beautiful, the wood is softer, and it is not corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant. It is easy to crack and warp after drying. The most serious thing is that the fibers have poor shear resistance and are easy to break in stubble. If it is made into a totem pole tree outside, it may be hung up by a gust of wind that day, so the southwest birch is definitely not good either."
"Fir trees are relatively better. People often use fir trees as beams and columns of houses, masts and bridges of sea boats, which are better in strength than those two types of tree species. After drying hemlock, they can maintain a stable shape and size without shrinking, expanding, warping or twisting. The wood is solid, with a fine and uniform texture, strong resistance to rot, and especially water and moisture. If you don't have to worry about cracking and breaking outside, it can be used as an alternative to the totem pole."
"But the wood above is not as good as the toon wood. The toon wood is beautiful in texture, hard, shiny, strong in corrosion resistance, no curling, no cracking, and not easy to deform. It is easy to construct and can be compared with mahogany, so we will come to the forest farm to focus on the toon wood. If there is no suitable one, then consider hemlock."
After analyzing these, Wen Yuan sighed, "Hey, in fact, if you want to carve it well and keep it for a long time, it would be better to use huanghuali or red sandalwood as pillars. Unfortunately, there is no in the forest farm!"
Puff, Chen Yibin almost sprayed. Even the layman knew that both rosewood and yellow rosewood were dysfunctional wood. Rosewood was known as one inch of red sandalwood and one inch of gold. Yellow rosewood seemed to be more expensive than rosewood, and the thicker the wood, the more expensive it was. How much can a thirty-meter-high rosewood tree be sold? I'm afraid it's more expensive than Chen Yibin's manor. Even if he could buy it, he wouldn't dare to stand it at the door. If someone stole it, he wouldn't feel sorry for it?
After a while, they entered the mountains. After a while, the little guys immediately became particularly happy when they arrived in the mountains. If there were no things to do, Chen Yibin might have taken them out of the car and had fun. He drove around the mountains for more than two hours, and the car finally arrived at the forest farm.
I stopped the car and called at the door. After a while, a man with dark skin came out, "Hello, Mr. Wen, isn't this Mr. Abin? Haha, too!" Yes, Chen Yibin was recognized without introducing him, "I am the director of the field here. Everyone calls me Lao Qi, you guys are so acclaimed! Come on, let's go in and rest first, and then I'll take you to the mountain to find trees!"
"Yeah!Yeah!" Seeing so many big trees around, Bald Qiang immediately shone with his eyes. Chen Yibin quickly grabbed it, "Don't be excited, we'll find you to chew it later!"
After resting for a while, Lao Qi took Chen Yibin and the others into the mountains, "Mr. Wen wants a big tree that is more than 30 meters long, right? There are not many such trees that are allowed to be cut down now. Look, what do you think of that pine tree?"
"The pine tree is not suitable for wood, let's see if there are any other ones." Wen Yuan shook his head and rejected Lao Qi's proposal. The tree was not only a problem with wood, but also had a bit of crookedness and a bit of twistedness. It was also divided early, so it was not suitable for use as a totem pole.
"Look, where is the hemlock on the hill over there?" Lao Qi immediately handed the telescope to Wen Yuan, pointed to the hill opposite and said.
Wen Yuan took the telescope and looked carefully, then handed it to Chen Yibin, "I saw that there seemed to be several tree holes on the tree, which was not very suitable." This one might be OK to make wine for Xiao Liu, but it would be inappropriate to make a totem pole.
"Let's go to the mountain in front." The next afternoon, Chen Yibin took Ha'er and others to follow Lao Qi and wander around. Ha'er and Xiao Liu and others had a good time, but Chen Yibin and Wen Yuan never found a big tree suitable for carving totem poles.
Either the tree species are not suitable, or they are not straight enough, or they are not as big as thirty meters in size, and there are problems such as cracks and tree holes. In the end, Chen Yibin was a little discouraged, "Why don't we find a shorter one? I think the Chinese toon tree on the mountain just now is good, and it's not too short for more than 20 meters?"
"No, if you can't find it here, we will go to other places to look for it." Wen Yuan refused to give up. He regarded this as a job and he would never compromise on the job.
