"codominant" ("co-dom") - a tree that has two or more main leads either right off of the stump or a ways up the trunk of the tree, featuring steep, tight compartmentalized growth that sometimes can be confused as being one trunk. These trees need to be carefully inspected and assessed when cutting and felling, especially when the co-dom is near ground level. Sometimes the face cut alone can completely sever one of the co-doms away from the other resulting a catastrophic situation. We usually tackle those by going up past the compartmentized growth and taking both leads out separately if the situation allows.

 

Write them up with definitions my friend, for those that don't know what they mean.

 

"tinder" (not to be confused with the dating app) - fine, dry organic material (usually shredded leaves, grasses, or in our history "noodles") used in a small bundle to ignite the kindling.

"kindling" - small twigs, slivers of wood, shavings or other organic matter that is used on top of tinder for getting your fire going.

"noodling" - the act of ripping billets down with a chainsaw along the grain of the wood.

"noodles" - the long slivers of wood created by the act of ripping billets of wood down with the chainsaw along the grain of the wood. They closely resemble miniature linguini noodles, hence the name....
