Worst tree form

I saved Pinocchio from getting mulched 😂. Actually the guy ran over to the guy running the machine to tell him to leave that one.

Black birch in a grown up pasture.

It wanted to grow up to be a magnolia tree.

[bitternut]

Cutterboy I can't believe that black birch is not in your fire wood pile. For sure it would be in mine. Don't think I have ever seen a crotch that low.

bitternut, it's on my list. I hope to get to it this fall. All the stems are good firewood size. (8-12") and black birch is a great firewood.

The horizontal section is not touching the ground. Think there might be any tension there?

Was falling timber on the coast, south of forks Washington and saw massive devastation of about 15 year old Weyerhaeuser Doug fir super trees after one of our ice storms. Grew too fast with not enough established roots and not enough girth in the trunk was my take. They definitely grow fast and tall though. See a lot of stands that have snow break signs like spike nots or school marms where the naturally re seeded trees showed how Mother Nature sometimes knows best

Was at Disneyland over the weekend.  So, not a natural growth but still pretty amazing.


 

Any idea what it might be?  I'm thinking a type of eucalyptus.

ljohnsaw, only a hardened FF member would go to Disneyland and take pictures of a tree! :D :D
I don't know what kind it is but I don't see any good saw logs in it.

Are you kidding me?  Home Depot and Lowe's would be drooling over that for dimensional framing lumber!

Red maple. I think that tree might make some good live edge slabs.

That tree just wanted to be in the middle of the road, NO MATTER WHAT. :D :D

Interesting oak near me. How about that upper branch?


 
On my cabin property. I believe it is Aspen and will not be using it for my flooring!


 
Was on the Rubicon rafting last week. At one of the lodges.
