A hundred years ago here woodworkers were making rocking chairs with it. Now the trees are cherished especially with the cull of elm trees due to Dutch elm, in the last 6 months another 400 from the city had to be downed, but the chestnuts remain. The city does look bare tho. You might want to try a rocker, I never have but want to try one some time.
