Heres a picture of the bur oak around here they look almost like a cypress the goofy looking guy is my saw hand jake

[lancek]

Heres some of the oak we have around here almost looks like cypress

[lancek]

well the thorns are not long enough for hony locast and they would be more of them, and they would have been on the trunk of the tree and not just on the limbs I have a minister that will verify that this cutt is from the same log as far as it being elm give me a break the bark is totaly different ! Lancek

[lancek]

I know there are a few trees around here that realy stump you We are the pecan world capital around here but if you dont look real careful you would swear its walnut!

HEy Carl
Heres the cross section of that black locast Lancek

heres my back ground two years forestry degree 34 years logging and buying timber for indiana hardwoods,coldwater veener, maple ridge hardwoods, frank miller lumber, I have allso take courses in lumber gradeing and lumber idenification from purdue unversity ! The top of this tree had lobe leaves with 8 leaves per segment short thorns on the stems no thorhs for the frist 16 feet of the trunk ! Now tell me its cherry!! I will be sawing this material up for lumber so I will generate a pic that you can full screen and see the grain patteren to give you and exact deffenition of the wood!

[lancek]

Let me ask you this when was the last time you seen cherry trees with thorns on them?

[lancek]

This is the only way to realy get the ball rolling,with out haveing finger poiting later on down the road! I think we all have busy secduals but if we have enough time to look at these post it certanly dosnt take that much longer to type a yea or nea
As far as appropriate tec. I think that one should incoperate any tec that allows you to handle the job effichantly and safely we have a quater mile skid to the road on the job I am working now and I have to use my truck to haul the logs from the woods to the landing [Woods are land locked ] even with a swedish HD forwarder it would be hard to make any money,going that far so we load the truck at the edge of the woods and dump it at the road side landing for the picker truck to load and haul to the mill. I can get four cords on my dump bed !

Boys thats black locast here in mo I did the same thing when I cutt it down till I looked at the leaves [ There was to much over story to tell while it was still standing ] the other tree is white ash ! Now if you put the picks up of biglugs tree the bark and sap line look the same its not until ;)you look at the limbs that you can tell its cherry!;)

[lancek]

No I think you hit it on the head Lancek

[lancek]

ok what kind of wood is this, This is what I am baseing my opinan on;) lancek

[lancek]

After looking at the limbs it may be cherry but the bark looks like the old groth black locast we have around here you look at the wood gain and it looks a lot tighter than cherry the sap wood is also small an open grown cherry tree like that would have a large sap line! and as I stated before if it was splitting hard cherry wouldnt do that! hey jason what do you say lancek

[lancek]

Hey big lug from what I see thats a large black locauts of the real kind!
If what you say is true and its been down a few years that wood would be more decayed than that and if your post was corect that splitting it was hard, then that to leads me to my conclusion! Old groth black locast has a tendinsy to look like cheery. this log would make good farm or wagon lumber lance k

[lancek]

OOO YEA!!! we should all take up the spirit of the great punkin and give of our selfs lol 😀
