Thank you sir!

Stem lean trumping top weight. The picture is a little deceiving. The top is over the back a ways. The stem had a decent lean to the lay. Used a wedge as a bobber. These always play mind games with me.

Made 2 12s and 2 10s out of her.

This red is probably going to be the tallest stick in this woods. two 12s, a 10 and four 8s.

Looks like red oak, Bitz can correct me ifin I is wrong.

Other is beech.

Skidders ride smooth? Never heard of such a thing...:biggrin:

about as smooth as un-aged scotch

Like 056 said, red oak and beech. No yellow poplar this far north. I wish there were cause they look like fun. Yeah if its wet and you're not wearing corks forget walking that beech. Great for carving in the trunk though. I cut one that had a bunch of initials in it and the year 1943.

bitzer, that is what I was wondering... if that was 056kid's work! Looks pretty darn nice and tidy for sure! Who ever's work that is...it looks great! Looks like someone was marking their shot with a ball cap maybe???

whoever it is he seems to have a preference for the larger stems. yeah, I think that cap was just placed there when gear was dropped enroute to starting the day, wasn't in the target or anything.

Damn nice lay on the timber, looks like some good timber! Don't know that much about hardwoods. Cut a little salvage on some heli-jobs. Would love to tramp again. Maybe this fall. My roots are from Lenoir,N.C., is that close to you. The family name is Holder. Some day i will make it out there to check out the family roots. Anyway-thanks for the pictures!
