went and picked up the silver black maple oak.  @Southside:)  it is just a branch but was assured it might have curly figure and be worth a million dollars.   @WDH    :D :D :D  highly valuable log.



 



 

will post some pics after milling.

it had enough curve that it made four 4.5 foot logs.  here is the 5/16th inch stuff for the coasters on the engraver.



 





it sure looks like maple.    :)  @WDH  @Southside

looked ok till you think about putting it on the mill.  one end had hollow rot.  but most was solid.  this is a branch that rotted at the base and fell, the tree trunk was over 5 foot diameter.  if you go back a few days you can see the tree.

the 5/16th inch "slabs" made from the silver maple are now being processed into memories and keepsakes as coasters for one of my PAs wedding.

Growing up in the country, running bare foot and in keds in the winter, those thorns would blow out your keds, and leave you limping for a while.

My Tree of the day was given to me and planted 26 years ago, on Mother's Day, by my son, Richard.  It's a boy, and has heart shaped leaves, which shows up clearly in the background of the leaf photo.  I love all my trees, but, for obvious reasons, this is my favorite.

No, but I do happen to have one of those too.  I easily identified red mulberry the first time I mowed the lawn under it, while wearing a white shirt. 

This thread is even more fun when I'm on the knowing side, which has happened zero times until now.  Is that wrong of me?  :)

Uh oh.....It is all about knowing. 

Once bitten, twice shy.  OK, I will try again.  Basswood.

No, not basswood.  This tree is not native to North America, but has become very popular as an ornamental, especially in the Midwest.

any flower or seed pics?  the form reminds me of a redbud but not the serrations on the leaf.
