You know brah, all I can think about is a movie I saw back in early 90's called "clearcut" starring the native-american actor Graham Greene(I think thats his name,the bruddah from dances with wolves)...Anyway, The story was about the battle between the indian tribes in Canada and the greedy logging companies. Well, at one point Graham Greene kidnaps the president of the logging company and in one scene removes the skin from the guys leg, like the logging companies stripping the bark off of a tree. Very gruesome, painful scene but it makes sense...Trees are Living beings and I wouldnt want some bruddah carving into my trunk! But, Ive seen it done before and the tree lived but I wouldnt want the bad mana!!!

I guess youll just have to make a conscious decision about whether to carve or not...

Malama Pono!
