Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4010636, member: 9260"] while i agree with the overall purpose of that article, some of the arguments within are flat out wrong. to wit; 'this tree was truly the emperor of the eastern forests,' 'It also was our most economically important tree,' 'the most highly esteemed of all native lumbers.' no. rather than words to defend my opinion, i'll leave this logo for the storrs [I]agricultural [/I]school, which when began, found our forests full of chestnut trees, giving them the full range of choices to pick from. [IMG]https://cdn.freebiesupply.com/images/large/2x/uconn-logo-png-transparent.png[/IMG] that would be the mighty white oak. nothing seems to bother it, and it makes a great boat, or floor, or many other things, and today in the timber markets, has mostly blown past the value of cherry. i guess folks have 'soured' on that cherry kitchen cabinet mania. and oh, when the first real act of our revolution happened (the ct river/hartford area loggers tellin the king's tree police to pizz off in the 1600s), the predominant log in the harvest at hand was oak. mebbe i have that quote wrong. prolly moar like 'pizz off ye! take ur tax thoughts and shove 'em up ur ye ole arse.' lol.
