Not bad, cub scouts are a PIA with planting things though

Nice turnout

As a Boy Scout/leader for 17 years, I can attest to the truth in that statement!

Some milled white birch, can’t wait to see it finished.

Sorry Mark. I obviously don't post enough. I didn't notice the date on the post I was asking about. It was the first post of this thread. Hope all is good with you.

The dead oak was at Rutgers U for a class I was teaching. Probably had bacterial leaf scorch like many have in that area. You are probably correct, but I couldn't really say as it isn't my strong suit there.

What do you plan to make with the boards? Beautiful stuff.

Some flooring for our under construction house. Bringing a decent load for kilning tomorrow and then having them plane and do t+g. Birch, white oak, red maple, hophornbeam (thinking stair treads), and 30”+ pine. The hornbeam was 15” diameter which is rare for here, hard as a mofo, and really neat wavy character

Its nice to see the trees we remove live on as other projects.

Well, my back is still out and I might not be able to work this whole week either. Moving around instead of sitting down all day helps, so I went for a walk this morning on a ~350 acre preserve a few minutes from the house. Most of the region was clear-cut long ago, but this area still has a handful of old growth including some massive firs, cedars and big leaf maple. Very green this time of year.

No but was a nice lawn

Any of y’all familiar enough with yellow sac spiders to ID these guys? I’m afraid I already know the answer, but I’m wrong about shit all the time.

We bought this home about a month ago, and I must’ve killed 20 of them so far. Here’s 21 and 22. Rest In Peace in a paper towel in the garbage can. Kinda cool looking though.

My buddy got bit by a recluse but his sack turned brown not yellow...

We did site prep for our new tree nursery today. Trees arrive next week.

You’re the MAN SIR!!!!!!
Your skills and knowledge are amazing

 

[rico]

I appreciate the kind words Venas. Nothing special about what were doing. Same tools and technique, but the trees are a little bigger than most here see in their daily work lives...

Have the survivors started re-sprouting up top yet? Soil is straight ash, freaking crazy

 

[Mark Chisholm]

I did some Arbor Day stuff. Any chance I get to talk about how great trees are, how to choose them, plant them, care for them... I'm all over it! Thanks to my friends at STIHL for the opportunity!

A large majority of the Reds are alive and shouting sprouts like crazy. Canopies that looked nuked beyond recognition are full of life..These buggers are tough to kill...
