SCHOOLMARM SLANG

Check this this out ... an explanation, and website address by the name

Schoolmarm Wood

Found it in the top search results for "school marm" corrected by Google to "Schoolmarm".
 
Around here they were indian marker trees but the whole tree takes a 90* bend. They were pulled over when young to point to water or something. Usually they cut the bark off where the tree would upright so a little "finger" of would wood would form. I have a pic somewhere of one but it's on slide and I don't have a scanner. But I don't know the real name of them.
 
That could be a whole other thread. Traditional tree pruning. We've got a awesome golf course here who's logo is a "lobstick" tree. In the middle of the first fairway is a spruce whose branches were removed just belowe the top for 10'. Also canoeing through the canadian shield I'd see lots of rock paintings or pictographs. Above almost every one was a pine tree. It would be the only pine for miles. Must of been planted. I've always wondered if the seeds were from a sacred pine somewhere, and how many generations have grown there.

Here is one more favorite from the end of last year. Kalaloch redcedar in December.

Pretty sure I posted this in one topic already, I think under its name. Anyhow, its groovy looking.
