I'd be the first to admit that this isn't really a very good photograph, but it does show one of the ways in which people have used trees in the past.
I came across this #ThickTrunkTuesday specimen in Victoria, and it bears a clearly-defined scar from where somebody, once upon a time, used it to make a bark canoe.
Presumably, this tree was already pretty well grown before whitefella arrived on the scene and changed the traditional ways of doing things... forever.
