But there's that "Swamp Loggers" show, where they go after long-submerged cypress and other logs....maybe you can justify that boat after all!
I have heard that. Works with EAB, but not necessarily other pests... theory with letting wood sit a couple of years is that pests that actually kill live trees vacate the dead logs after a while. Moving freshly killed trees (dead standing trees that many firewood hoarders look for) brings the highest risk of moving the pests that killed the tree with it. Kimberly ’s suggestion about ignoring the rules of a quarantine is a risky proposition. An example of where ignoring the rules could have disastrous consequences is with Asian Longhorn Beetle.. The Massachusetts outbreak came to the US in improperly treated shipping pallets.. ignoring the 110 square mile quarantine could cause Sugar Maple trees to become a thing of the past... think about what that would do...... tens of millions are being spent to stop the beetles spread... it takes a concerted effort of all, with no one working to undermine those efforts, to be successful... Beetle Panic | What's the economic cost of the Asian Longhorned Beetle infestation USDA APHIS | Asian Longhorned Beetle - Massachusetts Horkn is right about heat treatment but how many of us are patient enough to get the CORE temp of our wood over 150 degrees for the appropriate amount of time.... TurboDiesel thanks for bringing this up..... good discussion... Sorry for the thread hijack RCBS
The buggy is for sure handy around the property. Yes. Was blessed to have it passed to me. 3rd generation holder in my family. Thank You. I sometimes find myself mesmerized by certain views and little areas. It was cut back in the mid 1980s using an undesirable method (diameter cut) but it has been regenerating nicely since.
That lot stays green year round. Stopped growing about a month ago, but will stay green. I'd prefer to see it white this time of year.
Speaking of whiskey. We made Whiskey Pepper jerky last night. And I have a load of Sweet BBQ in the dehydrator now.
I’m just surprised to think that you’re asking to put bans on such things yet you’re recommending someone hide wood to get it somewhere else. They put BANS on moving wood in the first place since people unknowingly would transport it and think “what’s the harm?”.
Yes old glacier lakes are also a prime place to find such wood. Conditions being right and all and can be great for turning out furniture.
Some of the straightest I've dealt with. They had a little twist to them, but not many knots, thankfully. I'm theorizing here, but I think the river by me was likely never used for log runs due to it being the main "interstate" back in the day. I assume it would be hard to have both log and marine traffic simultaneously? I'll have to do some research and see if I can find anything on it.
Yes that would be good to know. Most environmental areas are just so different from one another so the preservation of the wood likely to be slightly varied.
Did a quick search and nothing. Not sure why. There's been a system of locks & dams in place since 1848. Maybe there just wasn't enough good timber left after settlers came about? Locks & dams prevented a drive?
Any amount of wood can be pulled out, it’s likely that this may be explained in a wood class but other than that it’s probably not as extensive knowing how aging processes are known but more so of preserving them if they are brought out of the “tomb”. Scientifically water that has less oxygen will preserve wood better and fresh and salt water will produce different results not to mention water composition: ie is it clear, murky, mineral rich..etc along with the wood what kind is it etc. different variations and they will Produce different results. If the tree was alive when it was put in water or already dead for some time. I could go on here but what reminds me is how they brought up wood boats and required to preserve them and keep them wet with solutions.

On another note: I use to fish in this lake man made by a jetty that separated it from the Columbia river. This lake was formerly a logging channel which was fed by a much smaller river and that river was used to send logs down the face of the hills. You can still see the remnants of the chute and the brackets that held them. Im also willing to bet that there are logs under water that would amount to something. Columbia river was logging and fishing by far along with other trades up river.
I bet it is! I hear you, my Dad passed his house to me, he build most of it himself. So i feel like having a responsibility to keep it in the family. Yep i proably would be the same and i just say so by lookin at the pictures.
Very good scotches out there I’m afraid.... if that taste of cheesy oak came in contact with booze and such tasting like it upon maturity... then vomit would ensue. I believe this is why they burn the inside of the barrel in the first place but more commonly white oak is used for that tasty vanilla note.
