    That’s cool. “Deliquescent” is the word you’re looking for. Elms have that shape too.

    No more hottie Albas lately, but I did cut some smelly tulipifera this afternoon.

    Amazing how straight those grow. Manageable size too.

    This one was right in my backyard. There is a large one in the center of the yard right along the back property line. It had one large trunk and 2 smaller ones around it. I was redoing my kid’s treehouse today and decided to cut the smaller trunks while I was back there. I’m giving them to my coworker to mill.

    Plans for them? What size boards. It makes nice stock and works like pine.

    We've yet to mill any TP. The ones at Jo's were nice but 20" max diameter and no way to get them on my PU. Even that one katsura log is going to be a challenge tomorrow. 7' long

    No plans other than to offload them. My coworker plans on retiring in a couple years so he can find a use for the lumber. I’ll save the smaller stuff for firewood but really I don’t want to be hoarding too much more shoulder wood.
