[bitzer]

We had frost in the ground until the first week of April. Super long winter. It almost seems like the months have been pushed back some. Its like early May weather up here.

 

[jrcat]

Im off gents.

 

[treeslayer2003]

hey tramp, how goes it with the real timber?

 

[twochains]

As I have said before in another thread...I have an entire bedroom set and a huge desk and church pew all made from "wormy chestnut". All solid wood no veneer stuff! Desk takes 4 people to move it. Beautiful wood for sure! Gotta be worth something, I have had it since I was like...hell...born I guess!

There was a town in Kentucky, it was an amish community and they had a very large surplus of "wormy chestnut", I wish I could remember the name. The American chestnut resided in Kentucky evidently before they were wiped out.

Guys...what are the chestnuts you can buy and roast? I have seen those trees before in Benton, Ky. They have a very prickly husk kind of like a Chinky pin tree.

We've got horse chestnut all over the towns up here. American chestnut is a different tree. They used to be huge ####### trees. Really nice looking wood. Until the blight came. You guys move way too fast through this thread. No way for me to keep up.

Thank god for big timber and steep ground. The machines can't get em all!

Hey bitzer I have some coffee for you too.

not sure but think they are a hybred for the nuts. I could certainly be wrong tho pics of the furniture?

 

[bitzer]

It American chestnut, but there is a resistant strain or they are grown in a place where they are not exposed. I can't remember which. There are plantations of them. Not the huge timber trees of old though.

 

[twochains]

I'm one of the biggest bull####ters you'll ever meet. No lie. :msp_biggrin:

Don't spew out bs that you can't back up...you definitely have the skill set for falling timber...doubt anyone would ever question ya

(did that come out right...I meant it as a compliment!??)

 

[treeslayer2003]

[roberte]

I will say Roberte, when you say stuff it sounds like you've actually done it before


Now that Bitzer guy.........
:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

For the most part I have, why lie about it. Something I said makes you think otherwise, with all due respect.

I was told that they just don't live long enough to get big. The chestnuts I am talking about were in Western corner of Kentucky. Never seen one in Arkansas for sure. I have though seen maybe 5 chinky pins here in Arkansas...they would almost have to be a cousin to the chestnut tree.

 

[twochains]

thanks tc, jus curios

It's pretty stuff! Solid wood but many many worm holes! Real pretty though! I'm pretty proud to own it... never seen nor heard of a larger collection.

 

[treeslayer2003]

I have a wall paneled in perssimon, it wormy too. funny how we think it adds character, but buyers dock for it

 

[twochains]

Holy crap men! I'm gonna turn into a punkin in a bit! I have some serious chicken kickin' to do in the morning!

Have a good evening and hold the fort down... one good thing about rollin this thread soooo fast is that RandyMac being gone and all...he can't catch back up and set us on fire! LOL!

Later Men!
