No, it’s free floating, probably could knock it out but will let the splitter do its thing, it‘s fire wood.
John, what is the OD? I would like to get a piece about 6" long without that center. Would you consider it? Don't have to worry about it splitting in the future as the pith is definitely not going to be a factor. So, you think you wanta send me a piece? Let me know, please and then we can work out details. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
Out for a short ride this afternoon.
151ft tall, 17 ft diameter at the base, Flores Island, British Columbia....
Of course I didn’t see any that large during our Alaska excursions, but some that I saw were truly impressive!!!
Seeing those massive trees is almost a religious experience to me. The interesting thing with that photo of the big red cedar is all the trees around it look to be small. Makes one wonder what happened and why no other giant cedars are around it. Did it survive a fire or a big storm many years ago?
About 24” od. They‘re at Bud’s woodyard, I’ll get some next time I get over there and get back to you.
Thanks, John. I'll be waiting. Maybe increase the length to 10" because it definitely won't go in a Large Flat Rate Box. If there is anything from Arizona you would like, just ask. ...........Jerry (in Tucson)
John, tell Jerry you'd like to borrow the Grand Canyon for a while.
Well, Dougie Ole Boy, I could very easily get him to the North Rim, South Rim and even the West Rim, but he's gonna have to pack it up and haul it home by himself. Haven't gone to the East Rim yet. Got close once, but my Land Cruiser started running weird, so I turned around and headed back to camp in House Rock Valley. .............. Jerry (in Tucson)

Smoke on the water…There is something magical about greeting the sunrise on a brisk autumn morn, the calmness sets the mood for the day.
Yesterday colors in PA....
This is in state forest land.
They cleared some trees for a better view.....and got fancy with a chain saw!

What river valley is that George? Sure is pretty. Thought I saw a trout rising but it may have been a smallmouth
That's the West Branch of the Susquehanna River between Renovo and Karthaus. This vista is unique since it's on a very narrow ridge and you can see down to the river on both sides by walking only 25-30 yards.
Sadly no fish in this area.....too much mine acid drainage. Further downstream you'll find some fish.....probably no trout though. But a good river for canoe trip!!!

Look like high back beech chairs. Be dust in a few years. Our leaves are already gone.
Great riding weather and fall colors!!!
Wife and I went for a drive in the backwoods a few days ago since this was supposed to be prime leaf time in Central NY. Petty much a total bust --- a couple of hillsides with some color but nothing impressive. I had my camera but nothing was worth taking pics of.
BUT ... when we got back, I just stepped out to the end of our driveway to took this shot up our street.

You guys have similar weather to us. We have not had leaves for a few weeks, but Scranton is prime. Even the oak trees look great there. Reason your street looks good...most of those trees are not native. Even the USA species on the street are likely nursery grown stock, and the biggest nurseries are 200 miles or more south of you. So the stock they use leafs out earlier in the spring and last further into the fall in your area. Down side is early snow or ice storms. In 1997 Penn State lost over $100K in landscape trees because of such a case. However, in the landscape trade, they still argue the offset of pluses out weigh the negative and continue the trend.
