Wow, that first one does look like it could be turned into a coffee table very easily. As for the others, they kind of look rotten. I can't tell from the pictures. Either way they are heavy and twisted and awkward to move around. Maybe they were just removing the tree for "aesthetic" purposes and found a couple pieces that could be used again.
The neighborhood our school is gentrifying too quickly at the news of an express train station on the corner. The result is new construction and triple prices on real estate. A lot of kids' families at our school were not the owners but pay rent and when their leases are up they will have to move out of Seoul I guess. Anyway right across the street from my office is a cement mixer pouring cement and I really have a headache. I would like to go in the woods or walk around the neighborhood or look at trees.
Quietness does not come from a lack of noise but from a peace of heart.
Blessed quietness
Yes, it’s not too much fun to listen to noise like that when you are trying to work. That’s too bad about the people having to move because of the train station! I hope you get that walk in the woods soon!
