Rodents, including beavers, must keep gnawing because their teeth keep growing longer and must be worn down. This works well to keep them sharp: Their teeth have a gradient of hardness from the hard front to the softer rear, so as they wear down, they self-sharpen.

When I said “dam it!” earlier I wasn’t reacting to your work but instead remembering a chore I needed to do.
