Here's some of our locals

Old growth SPRUCE logs on Kenworth and Peterbilt Log trucks. HUGE! - YouTube

The commentary at the beginning says the load came from the Queen Charlottes. Just shy of 3 minutes in there's a cargo container full to the top... Did that get shipped in to be milled locally, or was it getting loaded up to be shipped across the big drink? Impressive loads!

Shipped to a local mill here. Then hauled to a small mill outside of Sedro-Wooley WA to be used as music wood.

That music wood has been on the ground for sometime . Looks like it was towed from some camp . It's nice stuff that came from a thick gro

wing stand . It's not humoungus , just nice stuff . . But nice size is nice !!

Market for the music wood is growing here, they've found the Northern species good replacement for the tropical wood. Please, I'd like to know more how you do it over there. Species? How you select it? Does the buyer mark the wood or do the loggers find it? Quality standards? How do you buck it?

The only music wood that I know about is Sitka Spruce. It is used for sound boards on guitars and pianos .

Picking out the tree isn't too hard as long as its big and nice . It has to do eith the tightness of the rings.

I think it needs to be at least 16 rings per inch . I've cut lotts and lots of it that is more than 32 rings par inch after it cleared up from the limbs .

Thank you Tramp.

Here the music wood is quite a new thing. The fiddle people have used up some Norwegian Spruce, but the craftsman has picked out the trees. On which criteria, that's alchemy to me.

They're talking now about Aspen, Spruce and Alder for guitars.
