Jeez it hurts when you see a beautiful, long, straight hunk of wood that would yield four maybe five bows.. growing in a garden of a highschool xD almost tempting to do a little late night logging >:D

(silent voice whispering in your ear): Do it. Do it. Do it...

You spelled dying wrong.

Go ask. Offer to replace it with a prettier tree. The school I work at would probably let you.
-
Yea spelling isnt my strong suit

In the end, I've always found it better to ask... be it bow wood, hunting permission, mushroom harvesting, fishing, etc. The times I asked on places that I thought for SURE they'd say no, I either got permission, permission to hunt or gather other valuable material, or a lead to other properties or commodities that made the effort more than worthwhile. I ask. The worst they can say is no.
Sometimes they say no.... but...

My morallity when it comes to state property is very low. I pay 38% of my paycheck to the man every month, I pay 1.500$ for owning a car every year, so from my point of view, it's my trees aswell. 8)

Im not far from agreeing with you. But is is also everyone elses, in the care of the school, so, ask the care taker.

I have taken without asking in the past, and I dont feel to great about it. However, if the person to ask was easy to find in a timely mater, I would have.

You're right sleek. In this case getting permission is the right thing to do.
I would actually love to pay for the wood I find. But when I asked the forrest ranger he said that I am not allowed to just take staves, not even dead ones on the ground, and the amount I want to buy is too small to handle in his system.. so he won't let me buy it either.
-
Thats when you ask him to LOOK OVER THERE! Then take off with a handfull!
Actually, make him a bow and say that if he doeant show up for a few hours that would be appreciated. Probably would work. Then again.... that could be considered bribing a federal officer.
Got it, just say you have this bow and are mighty forgetful. Youd like to be alone for awhile, and anything you forget he can keep when you leave.
-
That would work I guess. ;D Although I've already installed heating pumps in all his employees house's that should count for something, but they didn't even let me take some stave size oak they'd cut. Maybe the heatpumps will stop working soon >:D
-
It's a tree..... You'll find another.
-
Hahaha thats great
-
They might have cameras..

Ask. I've just been granted permission to take about 20 yew logs from an old school here in England. Pipe straight and perfectly clean, and all the school wants in return is a single bow to show students.
If they say no, you move on.

Make friends with the grounds keeper! I got in touch with the grounds keeper at the local university near me and now every time a typhoon rolls through, he calls me to help him cut fallen trees and take what I want. I just got a huge chinese elm trunk. No idea if the wood inside will be straight grained, but there is definitely a dozen bows in there if it is. He's happy for the help, I'm happy for the wood.
-
just pay the grounds keeper a bit,, I am sure he will agree the tree needs a bit of pruning,,
-
Lol i am totally not serious about stealing a tree guys xD
-
Suuure you're not..... ::)

They might have cameras..
Good point, wear a mask....I keed, I keed!

reminds me of what i just did to a huge ocean spray branch last night :-X
-
Sometimes the temptation is pretty high, like the last time I was in Ottawa. Even though I had a saw, the time and the means I controlled myself. It was a lovely tree though
P.S. I could rationalize it and say that this all Algonquin land and as such I am entitled to it :)

sometimes it's got to be done. It's just as much your land as anyone else's Mark! Good control though. Cheers- Brendan

ok so i have a question for my Canadian buddies here. what are the actual laws reguarding taking trees on crown land? i know my papa needed to get a permit to cut pinebeetle kill for fire wood. i also know that if the longs are longer than like three or four feet they can nab you for 'logging' without a permit... could i get in SH#T for taking a seven foot log/ stave from crown?
-
I'm sure you could get in trouble for it. Depending on where exactly it was. I do it... I wouldn't want to get caught though. Just make sure to clean up after yourself. Cheers- Brendan
