    Haha well there’s a 40” bandsaw a couple miles from me. I know he’s not a fan of sawing BL but for that I’d be willing to buy a few blades ;)

    I never heard a word. You? I suppose not or we all would’ve heard about it :)
    What I really need is a Buzzsaw Brad riding shotgun with a swivel head LOL I’m just terrible at tree id. The BL I normally have down now. Sure looked like BL when I saw it the first time. There’s even others like it in the yard.
    Truth be told I was just too exhausted to figure it out. Long day for me. Too tired to even snap a pic. I had decided to just walk away. Probably change my mind about that tomorrow morning :)
    Not Sass, that one I know. Dang it, I’ll have to go back and get some pictures, dang it. Look at the leaves of the other ones.
    I’m just not good at hanging around other people’s property. Never feels right.

    I was at Minuteman National park this spring. There are plenty of giant BL along the pathways and probably some even bigger specimins in the woods.

    Eric Schamell read above. You had asked about BL earlier in this thread.
    FYI one linear foot of either 1x12 or 2x6 equals a board foot.
    BL would make a nice deck for sure.
