"Another expression of the high morale which prevailed was a joint project which we pursued after hours, on our own time. Out of one huge spruce log we made a set of furniture using an axe and a crosscut saw. We made chairs, a table and a sofa." -- quote from Cedric W. Walker (1907-2003) in "An Early History of the Research Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range" (p. 48)
