    Eastern Red Cedars come up like weeds around here and I think the avg lifespan is 300yrs or more.

    Mine was hickory. Specifically pignut hickory, if I'm correct, which I am a lot less than I'd like to be.
    Congrats to the 2 correct guessers. If you are looking for a prize, please refer to the OP on this thread. :p

    Tamarack's entry is Western Juniper, was called "cedar" by many early settlers. It makes good fence posts, especially near Post, Oregon.

    Cash Larue is showing us an example of the mountain variant of Douglas Fir. Right, Mr. Larue?

    This piece is from fairly low on the stump, perhaps 10' up, about 60 years old, and from the north side of the tree at an elevation of at least 8500'. It was probably cut in 2019 by a Stihl 460 with a slightly dull chain, or the mix may have been a bit rich. It wasn't split until later, most likely by a right handed man in his late 30's using a 25 to 30 ton splitter.

    I have both these in my stacks at home but here are two living examples. Until today I’ve never seen them growing back to back like this so I had to take a picture. Hint- one is a son of a “-“ and the other is also a son of a “-“ :) 5B38E8B8-73FE-4290-AAAF-2E93710368D9.jpeg
