Sun Ray Kelly presented his Natural Timber construction at CNBW. Sun Ray
lives in his own forest in Washington and has developed a sculture-like
building technique using locally available wood. Sun Ray's philosophy is
that the forest plants more trees than it can support. By selecting
those trees which may not survive (twisted, forked, etc) he helps the healthy
one grow stronger.
Many Caribbean islands were deforested by humans and by hurricanes. There
are pines on Middle Caicos but I'm not yet sure if it is possible to harvest
any; they may be protected. Maybe I can make use of weakened trees; or
at least plant enough to provide for some future generation of
natural builders.
