Bambúd, tablado
Last February. Goodbye to the winter and welcome to the municipal police, to the grass or to the grass. It's nice to be blackened, but for the next time I'll leave that path. I still want to flush the wood...
The other day Berria brought the story of the desolate facade of Arantzazu and renovated unpublished images. Two photographs: the baga, in which the apostles of Oteiza were thrown at the edge of the road, and the second, the work of placing these carved stones on the facade.
I'm not going to get into the black hole in the Oteiza hole, which should be left silent. The neighbor caught my attention: the scaffold. It was a wooden scaffolding, a scaffold raised on a nailed board. That's why it's called a taboo. Instead, you find those metal structures that are taken off and put into a rattle that we see today. In the photo I didn't know the wood and the first thing I wanted to ask my grandfather Jesus Mari: What wood did the scaffolding of yesteryear? Not in vain has been a serrallo.
In his opinion, few scaffolding such as Arantzazu have been built here. In most cases, mobile scaffolding has been used on easel to lift the walls of the house and then build the interior from floor to floor. Hanging scaffolds were used on the outer wall, which, if necessary, were moved by the eaves through ropes. Like those for easel, the tables used for these observations were of insignis pine (Pinus radiata); those of seven, seven centimeters thick. I guess the few large planks on the facades will also be pine.
In the Asian area it is customary to make scaffolding with another plant. At present, bamboo scaffolding continues to be built for the construction of more than forty skyscrapers on the ground floor. The carpenters who work in this trade have an immense art, they have to do special studies and charge more. They say that the steel scaffolds are too rigid and easy to fall. A Chinese saying goes, because it's soft, it gives the tongue, the tooth is stiff and it breaks. Bamboo, thanks to its flexibility, holds the attack of a gale or an earthquake on the good side. On the other hand, it easily adapts to the way you want to give to the construction and is built in half time. The main problem is duration, about three years.
The buckwheat (Arundo donax) and the bamboos (Phyllostachys spp) that are also cut in our country for mops or clubs have a similar duration. That's right, they're cut off on the rising moon of February. Like the one you just left, it will come from February...
From wood emerges more than a splinter, among other expressions... But the proverb says: "Splinter for wood." Return of the muela: from seed to plant, seed to plant. Many of them have been Gotzon Garate. Ready for enjoyment?
What wood, what a splinter. What a trunk, what a... [+]
Tough, resilient timber, which will have to withstand a great deal of tension and strength, will be thrown into these darkness, as I said the other day. If you accidentally cut a tree off to get a wood of this kind, the waning moon of February will close with a month, and those... [+]
Winter is usually the time of wood and wood. Most of those used in our culture are cut in winter. Resistant, resistant, tensile and forceful woods will be thrown into these moons. Demolition work for logs that give rise to soft and flexible hardwood or woods will be high season... [+]
Weather conditions are over; water, water and water. What to talk about in the elevator or at the bus stop? There's no news, and you have to start throwing away something else to tell stories. The advantage of being said to have been bad for some time, you have to think ... The... [+]
Carrozillo or snail (Rhamnus alaternus) is not abundant. It is berozale and lives very well among other trees and shrubs that share this same hobby, such as the Madroño (Arbutus unedo), the cork oak (Quercus suber), the bull (Laurus nobilis), the motherhood (Quercus pyrenaica)... [+]
The last time I was surrounded by you. Jon Maia has taken over the strength of the forest and the tree over us, and the influence it has on our culture to make one of those great documentaries; Gutik Zura is called Gutik Zura and whoever wants to help with a few cents to... [+]
Just like the tree, it's culture to put the tree on top and hold the branches. Great knowledge, culture. Otherwise, by breaking the branches and deforming them, it would help a plant that would be rapacious and in turn give a new future. Culture: working. Help grow. Sometimes to... [+]
I play the violin. I'm a better arpist than a violinist, but the violin is my livelihood. Warm summer, the heat lasts a lot. We paste it. In summer, I have the pagotxa, the concert string. In summer, the Alfer, in addition to the first, is proud, and some have to explain that it... [+]
If when we were kids, we saw a dog scratching his leg to soothe the itch or to send the fleas to wind, we said he was “playing the guitar.” Dogs, I don't know, but some dog will touch the violin. I mean, it's going to be a violinist dog.
To play, you have to dance the hoop on... [+]
Zuhaitzak, arbolak eta zuhaixkak muskildu, inausi eta lepatu egiten ditugu. Batzuetan muskil edo kimu ttikiak, eta besteetan adartxoak, adar politak, baita adar tzar asarreak ere. Berari kendu, eta bueltan zauria utziz.
Forma jakin bat emateko mozten ditugu landareak: itzala... [+]
Aurrekoa amaitu nuen erari helduko diot: gosea piztuz. Gazta aipatu nuen. Alnus glutinosa, haltzaren ezpalez ketzen direla nioen, baita haltzak bihotzaz gain odola ere baduela. Kolore gorri asko eransten dio gaztari, gorri hila, distiragabe hila. Ketzen azkarrena da haltza,... [+]
Odol giroa nagusi izaten da neguero. Guraize, aihotz, zerrote, motozerra... inauskaiak zorrotz! Epaia emateko prest epaikiak. Epaile kaskarin gehiegi. Buru beroko kasko asko. Bihozgabe bihozgabetzaileak.
