Just a stump from a tiny cedar. Wonder what happened?

Gary which one are you sitting in the wedge cut? Are you the one at the far right or the fella before him?

Actually that picture was taken on Pacific Lumber ground near Eureka. It's Redwood.


never was much good at telling tree species, but I sure could hookem and load em. :)

The redwood and the cedar do share some traits though. 100 years ago there were cedars here that were 20' at the base.

Notice the color and the white ring of this cedar I cut yesterday compared to the redwood.
This was cut down about 5 years ago.

edit, the bar is sitting on fir.

you know this thread brings back memories of talking to this great old man i know, he was an oldtimer back when logging done with horses.. i had the previlege of hearing his stories , he was 80 or something at the time and had givin up logging man years earlier to chase the excavation buisness.
he finaly semi retired and his son took over the dirt digging gig but he still drove dumptruck till his lisence was taken from him a few years ago.
at the time i didnt realize how lucky i was i was givin something that money dont get to exsperince as his breed is a dieing breed. i worked in the yard cleaning equipment and doing odd stuff that a kid of 12 years old could do. one day hes pulls in the yard to add oil to the front axle on his truck and asks if i want to finish the day with ofcourse i did i liked him so i hopped in

you wouldnt belive the stories he told and after that day i rode with him everychance i could .
anyways to make long story shorter he is passed away now i visited him a few times before he left us but he had changed and didnt know who i was anymore.hes been gone now for about 5 years and it seems his kinda is just dieng breed that wont be replaced
