Which lasted longer?

While cutting this beech log I began to wonder, which lasted longer the tree or this persons love for Julie? Haha

 

Ah man I was looking at some beeches today and saw some weird code on one and didn’t take a pic. I’ll take a pic next week and see if someone can decipher. It’s deep in the woods so it might unleash demons.

 

Don't take the chance and cut it down.


Leave it there for me!

 

That is so true! Next time I’m in the in laws woods I’m gonna get some pics. The beech are littered with love mementos from each of my wife’s aunts and uncles and whoever their boyfriend/girlfriend was that summer. Even some of her cousins have their own trees marked out. How does the saying go? What happens in the woods stays in the woods?

 

Nothing I’m sure Facebook hasn’t already unleashed

 

I’ve got one out back that my then girl friend and I staked a claim on Thanksgiving of 92’, escaping the packed house at the now in-laws.

I’ve always liked that form of graffiti

 

It may be a "bearing tree". Kind of like a witness tree

 

I did that years and years ago with my wife's name. They cut that sucker down long ago.

Always reminds me of this:

 

Ive seen that plnety of times on beech around here. Remember doing it with my pocket knife as a kid. My friend and i would climb the tree in front of my moms house and carve away. Tree died and was cut down years ago. Did you save the log or dont wanna make Mrs Rider suspicious???

 

I could take a guess and probably be right.

 

I have a friend who's gf is named Julie...he asked me for the log so at the moment, its' in the back of my truck.

 

Youre a good man Joe. Sacrificing inventory for a friend!

 

I don't think one log will hurt me. haha!

 

True, but its beech!

 

Been meaning to take a pic of this beech at Ms. buZZsaw's moms place. House built 1968 and original owners. Her son carved "Ronnie"
