Some species have such narrow sapwood that it doesn't exist.

If you spilt the 1.5 billion with your goat, is the goat tax higher than 39% we tax paying morons have to deal with.  I am thinking we let the "The Goat Strikes Back" claim it and pay the government nothing :)

Pith = "That's a pithy comment"... :D
As for splitting the money-the cable news folks told me last nite that the rich were already "taking the burden" as their taxes paid for most everything? That would lead me to wonder WTH they need with taxing the crap out of my wife & I given the level of FED taxes we pay and we don't even have any wages, just teacher retirement checks. Interestingly I pay far more in fed taxes than my total yearly earnings at the time I began working a FT job. Then there's the economy which is up or down, depending on the source. Rant over, temporarily... ;D
did I say I don't eat goat, keep um :new_year:

Read up on the toxicity issue with KFT pods. You want it to perk you up, not put you down.

I have milled a few Kentucky Coffeetree logs.  The most obvious characteristic, around here, is that the sapwood is so narrow, usually about 1/4".  The only contrasting sapwood I have seen that is that narrow.  Anyone know of another species with such narrow sapwood?
For narrow sap see the ERC logs in a recent thread. I sawed some years ago, ~ 1975, that had that narrow sap-they came out of an old cemetery(DEEP! shade and same for some I recently sawed from estill Co, KY that grew similar and near cliffs too) in Johnson Co KY, near Paintsville Lake. The folks were ticked that the old cedars were "discoloring the tombstones". I remember telling my FIL that had people buried there that a 100 year old tombstone was supposed to look old. he told me about them but wasn't real worried about if they were cut or stayed. I guess some people "need" stuff to worry over?
I think the narrow sap is often as much about the location/age as species?

KY Coffeetree is the only species I know of with alternate, bi-pinnately compound leaves.  I don't see many of them in the woods, though.

Several other legumes display the same alternate bi-pinnate compound leaf.  Here are two more.

YH,

You could sell snake oil from the Snake Oil Tree  ;D. 

At $12 per liquid foot  :D.
Sure, why not?  I bet there are a lot of snakes out there that have dry skin issues, and need a good skin moisturizer, what with all that crawling around on the ground.   :D

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

I just got in the last 9 logs the logger had, 12 footers, a couple nice and big, relatively straight.  I'm hoping he can get more off the tract he's working, it's a big one, up on the mountain that hasn't been logged for generations, apparently.  Some beautiful logs, of all species, coming in.

To be honest, I'd never even heard of it until Saturday when a guy had two small logs in the pile to saw.  Photo doesn't do justice to the rich colors ... really beautiful stuff.  Unfortunately, someone had decided to drive 4 nails in at some point (the only ones we hit all day) -- the only question in my mind for such an act -- felony or just a misdemeanor?
