Granularity: item · already workedAlready worked. The 2024 conversion is closed: why these five pieces were chosen, how much was trimmed, and when and how they were charred and joined cannot be recovered. The record keeps the last point at which each is known and states which questions can no longer be asked back.

Processing
2016
Photographic survey of standing trees and felling
- Basis
- 204 standing beech surveyed; felling yielded 25 usable forks
- What changed
- Tree to fork
- Result
- One of the 25
?Done by others, to be checked
2016
First cut
- Basis
- Felled deliberately long, then slid between its fixing points until its curves best matched the target, and only then trimmed
- What changed
- Length trimmed
- Result
- On record with its method
?Done by others, to be checked
2016
Locating holes drilled and end faces milled
- Basis
- Every one of the twenty-five was drilled with a first set of three holes before scanning; the twenty that went on to the robot bear a second set and milled faces
- What changed
- Holes and milled faces added
- Result
- Traces that now carry the attribution
?Done by others, to be checked

What this piece has been
Cut in 2016 with its method published, and cut again in 2024 with nothing recorded. A Forest Datum ran two regimes side by side: a deck of standardised cells on five supports, each worked as a single piece, and only the standardised half is on record. The project's only peer-reviewed account describes the deck and mentions neither the supports, their charring, nor any reclaimed timber. A Forest Datum is described as designed for disassembly and reuse; the supports fall outside that description, and if it is dismantled they will emerge as five worked pieces with no record of the work.
