In the quiet village of Findon, a woodcutter diligently wields his axe, shaping nature's bounty into useful timber. This 17th-century woodcutter, with weathered hands and determined eyes, carries on the age-old tradition passed down through generations. Born as the son of a woodcutter in Eden Mills, Vermont, this humble woodsman learned the art of harvesting trees from an early age. His calloused palms tell tales of countless hours spent swinging an axe amidst towering forests. Leafing through the ancient Book of Hours from the 16th century, one can find intricate illustrations depicting a woodcutter at work. Bound in red velour with metal corners that whisper stories of forgotten times, these pages transport us to an era when craftsmanship was revered. The oil painting "The Wood Sawyers" captures a moment frozen in time during 1850-1852. The canvas breathes life into their laborious task while showcasing their strength and unity as they conquer mighty logs together. A digitally restored reproduction takes us back to the 19th century where we witness a woodsman taking respite from his arduous forest work. The historic image reveals both exhaustion and satisfaction etched upon his face - evidence of battles fought against nature's forces. Amidst these dramas lies another scene: lumberjacks facing peril as a colossal pile of cut woods tumbles upon them. This color lithograph reminds us that danger lurks within even mundane tasks for those who brave the wilderness day after day. "Figures by a River, " painted on canvas with skilled brushstrokes, showcases serene moments where woodcutters pause to reflect upon nature's beauty surrounding them, and is here that they find solace amid their demanding vocation. "Faggot Gatherers, " another oil masterpiece capturing rustic scenes from yesteryears portrays men gathering bundles of firewood – essential for warmth during colder months. Their toil ensures the hearths of countless families remain ablaze.
