Thanksgiving Dogwood

Dad had a little pile of Dogwood, so it’ll be going home with me. Also grabbed a piece of mystree wood and Blackjack oak.

 

Heck yeah! Nice grab!!

 

My 86 year old dad got his first Stihl chainsaw last Xmas, so now he’s the dogwood slayer.

 

FIRST??? You mean he's been running Huskies all his life? Shame on you Jim!

I certainly hope I can run a saw at 86...if I make it that far.

 

Good stuff there. For your personal use in the future?

 

No, he had a sad craftsman before being gifted excellence. This dude is the godfather of cheap.

 

It will go into general inventory, so I don’t know. I have been burning the low grade splits not suitable for Benjamin paying customers.

 

Sounds like what I used to do. Id burn all the nuggets and cull wood.

 

Any idea on the age of that tree Jim? I planted one in my backyard a few years back. It’s still very small.

 

They're very slow growing and don't get that big.

 

That's a nice pile of logs. Good BTU's there

 

The Dogwoods were there in 83. They are slow growers and most mature trees are only 15-20’ tall. I almost took a picture of a Cryptomeria I planted in 90. It’s only 12’ tall. It’s also the Sandhills area of NC.
