In traditional forestry and biodynamic silviculture practices, the timing of tree felling plays a crucial role in the quality and durability of wood. One of the most favorable periods is the waning moon of August, which in 2025 spans from ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐.

โข ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ: During the waning phase, sap tends to concentrate in the roots. This means that felled logs contain less moisture, reducing the risk of fungi, mold, or insect infestations.
โข ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Wood with lower sap content is more stable, dries more evenly, and preserves better without chemical treatment. This is especially beneficial for hardwoods like oak, beech, or ash, commonly used in carpentry, cooperage, or construction.

Carpenters, woodworkers, and foresters who follow lunar rhythms often observe better long-term wood performance, increased resistance to weathering, and a more refined aesthetic. Felling during the waning moon of August is therefore much more than folkloreโitโs an ecological and effective strategy for enhancing forest resources.
