Many Minecraft players  like to use wood as a building material as I do. Wood can be used also,regardless of its color,  to craft chests, doors , pistons,ladders,fences  ( before v. 1.8)   e.t.c.  Jungle wood   can be collected  rapidly  in large quantities with this method regardless that the jungle trees are very tall. .  I hope it will be usefull to  some of you.
