I enjoy my time in the woods. And enjoy taking the time to examine the trees. Things like burls or curly ques that make 360 degree turns.
We have a huge birch tree near our cabin. 2 men can't reach around it. It is covered in burls. I would love to harvest this mature tree before it starts to rot . I saw another birch that was pure white. No limbs or black, just snow white for 25 feet at least 16" at base.
I've come across a few 360 degree trees.
I removed a white spruce near our cabin that was beetle killed. Our son counted over 200 rings. He's going to mount the 58" non typical moose antlers he harvested just a few hundred yards away on an angled crosscut slab to honor this moose. I'm sure this old moose knew this tree, in his home.
We have a mountain ash that i got out of the crotch of a huge box elder in my parents yard 35 years ago. Never got more than 24" tall. It went through a forest fire n got destroyed, burned up 25 years ago. That little tree started to grow again and now stands near 30 ' .
I enjoy trees n wood so much i built a wood shop.
Got any pictures of unique trees ? Stories ?
This is a picture of the birch tree near our cabin. It makes me feel like it is a special tree where fairies would live
