Wood is bush or tree branches used for: fuel: cut, chop, saw, chip make: houses, furniture, paper, fiber farm: ground cover, compost Celtic wands are always made with holly. "Wood Snipper" is an idea for a safer and lower powered shredder: Heavy electric scissors/pruners attached to hydraulic arm nibbles branches in bites as short as 1/8 of an inch. Funnel shaped input begins snipping from the tips of the tree without felling limbs first. Using the same technology as used in hand-powered pruners means even the most green of limbs are cut correctly. Use the chips to: Make paper. As groundcover/mulch. As part of compost. In a wood chip stove for nearly free heat.
