i don't need one of those to have wood and I'd wear one anyways. As long as the trees were ethically harvested, of course.

Cool to see research is being done at the College of Forestry at Oregon State! If only I was still in my undergrad there...

is this akin to when hunters cover themselves in either the blood or urine of a particular beast so they can roam amongst them undetected?
as in, if you wear a wooden helmet trees won't attack you whilst skiing amongst them?

Thats pretty cool, I can see some big challenges in making the protection offered consistent, I'm thinking youd have to find wood free of knots and other things. I can see how wood could possibly offer better protection than other materials.
They'd look sick with a pair of iggies.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________
