Technology, mainly the helicopter and the modern chainsaw, enabled us to harvest this valuable wood in ways and quantities that could only be imagined before this time. Shake block cutting still continues to this day, but only in a much more limited scope. I cut shake blocks during the glory days, during the days when the remoteness of the wood was suddenly no longer an obstacle. We rode our winged serpents to where no man had gone before. And we found the treasure. I was a shake block cutter and here is my story.
