木工房三澤　匠の想い　【木を繋ぐ】

森で伐られた木が木材市場で競りにかかり製材所が競り落とす。競り落とされた木々は出盤を待って製材、乾燥をされていく。

材料となった木々たちは建築材、家具材、内装材、さらには木材を基材とした新たなる素材として加工されていく。そうして木々を繋ぐ人々の数のだけ思いが加わる。

そんな木々は森での適切な管理で次世代に繋がる。木を繋ぐ仕事は人材確保・人材教育、どちらも一過性の思いだと潰されていまうが木々を繋ぐ人々の気持ちを理解するとおのずと覚悟が決まる。

簡単ではない仕事、当然危険もある。怪我もつきもの、体を痛めることもある。それでも木を繋ぐ。すなわち次の世代に繋ぐ思い。

『木に思いをはせて次の世代に繋ぐ』

そんな思いの人が増えてくれると嬉しいなと思いながら今日も木と向き合います。

1. 【Connect the trees.】

Trees felled in the forest are auctioned off at the timber market and the sawmill bids off. The auctioned trees are sawn and dried waiting for the board to come out.

The lumbers used as materials will be processed as building materials, furniture materials, interior materials, and new materials based on wood.

Then, as many thoughts as the number of people connecting the trees are added.

Such trees will be connected to the next generation by proper management in the forest. The work of connecting trees is to secure human resources and to educate human resources, both of which are crushed as transient thoughts, but understanding the feelings of the people who connect the trees naturally determines their determination.

It’s not an easy task, and of course there are dangers. It can be injured and can hurt your body. But connect the trees. That will lead to the next generation.

Put your thoughts on the tree and connect it to the next generation.

I will continue to face trees today, hoping that more people will have such thoughts.
