And grabbed a couple 3×6 old growth heart pine that came out of the floor of the old cotton mill. One about 2' and one about 4' long
Congrats! Hope you can salvage some for projects. Chuck
Great catch. Drool drool.
Danged sheriff - that's pretty special!!!
If you ever plan on putting some up for grabs I’d definitely be willing to buy or trade for a small piece.
Neighbor had part of a Red bud fail in our snow storm Friday. Said I could have the wood. Lost reverse plowing that day. Maybe I can use the school van to get it....

I recently had to cut down a beautiful but misshapen Holly tree that was growing too close to my porch roof. We had cut it back many times, but decided it was time to let it go. I have learned that...
Somebody needs to pick these up ASAP! Lots of us NEED Holly! ChuckPosting this for anyone in St Louis:

Sorry. A little too far for me, but I did sneak a 5 foot log of it into my truck when we were clearing the lot for our latest project at work. Hopefully I can get it worked up before the fungus and beetles find out I have it!
Too late....
Scored the mulberry, catalpa and crab apple from a newer club member. He owns and operates a tree service. Worked out a trade on this deal.
That’s a huge chunk of Crab Apple! Can’t wait to see what you make with it! Chuck
Crab apples can get 30" at DBH. Why do you think his is big?
Mark, I know you know those damn tree things, but are you sure about that? I can't find anything that suggest that crab apple trees get that big and like Chuck, I didn't think that the do.

I've seen some big ones here in Michigan. They are short and don't get very tall but an old tree can get pretty big in diameter at the butt log. Often times they are hollow though.
Thanks Greg. I was basing my opinion on height. Didn't realize that, like me, they get large down below the crown.
Guess from my experience growing up in Washington State. Crab Apple trees there were much smaller. Of course, my recall from 6 plus decades ago might be off a bit. Chuck
Thanks Chuck. I’m itching to turn both the crab apple and the mulberry. Was going to turn the mulberry last night but was too tired. Too tired today after spending the morning with some kids in the shop.
