IGNORE THIS COMMENT, WRITTEN WITHOUT READING COMPLETE ARTICLE. Unless there is some issue ( Health wise ) with Tree, why to even cutoff 500 years old tree, just to make a big table for 60 people ? Most of us die between the age of 60 to 80, It successfully lived 500 years. They could've left that tree as it is for future generations to see and experience it in awe.

Eventually a tree was found: a 45 metre ancient oak that had fallen in a storm 15 years ago but lay undisturbed because the owner couldn’t bear to see it chopped up for firewood.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.

Hello, I am sorry. When I gave that reply I've read only first 3/4 paragraphs. Now I've read complete article. So nice of those people who are all part of that project.
