    I really think it's going to be tough to beat white oak!

    Sass has a tough first round draw too-- anything with locust in the title is going to be tough.

    This was a really good idea. I'm pulling for hedge. White Oak or Red Oak would make me happy too.

    I'm with Steven on the Red (Douglas) Fir. For us westerners Larch, DF and Lodgepole are the holy trinity (probably in that order, but I've been staying warm for 5 winters now burning almost nothing but Lodgepole and DF... I'm thinking the seeding for this tournament is east-coast bias at its finest. :D

    East coast west coast battle. Madrone was the west coast favorite and live oak would have been the best from the southern bracket.

    How could the selection committee snub alligator juniper? It was clearly a bubble wood, but it came on late in the season! :cool:
