This carpenter artist transforms a fallen tree into an impressive staircase. Can we prolong the existence of a tree after it has fallen? Yes, definitely, but it depends on various factors.
Take redwood for example: it is renowned for its resistance to the elements and its longevity. Another example is teak wood, popular for its natural oil which makes it resistant to water and insects. If the wood is properly dried and treated with natural preservatives, such as linseed oil or insect and rot protection products, this can significantly increase its durability.
