Its not bad wet, Its just the field wasn't cut last year. On a Red rock bed, so solid.

I live in a town called Spruce Pine, which is a mining town in  the mountains of western North Carolina, between Boone and Asheville.  Locally, spruce pine is the old-timers' name for what a botanist would call Carolina hemlock, or Tsuga carolinensa.  I hope I spelled that correctly.

DanG them are nice logs.   Maybe I use this post to show customers what kind of logs to have.

David,

Another case where local common names are misleading.  Spruce pine, Pinus glabra, is a yellow pine of the bottomlands of the coastal plain and the flatwoods.  Grows along river corridors.  It is not the same thing as your hemlock. 

You also see this in the Mid-South where the common name "pin oak" refers to water, willow, and laurel oak, and not true pin oak which does not even grow there.

Another note about "Spruce Pine".  Even though it is a Yellow Pine, it will not meet SPIB specifications regarding strength, so it does not make it to commercial sawmills.  Since it was commonly the only Pine left standing Wild Turkeys often roosted in them hence the common name; "Turkey Pine".

I quite often saw it for landowners since the market for it is very marginal.  It also has a unique smell.

[WDH]

It makes nice siding.

[Magicman]

Yup, and I have sawn much framing lumber from Spruce Pine logs.  SPIB does not matter with a chicken house.   :D

You could get away with a goat pen, too.
