Seemed quite a wavy grain, so maybe botryoides rather than saligna?
Could be quite a lucrative niche because it makes for wonderful flooring. hard and beautiful. The heartwood is durable enough for external use like decking (can splinter a wee bit but nowhere near as bad as some other decking materials used here) and joinery but probably wont last much beyond 15 years in-ground. Quite a belligerent wood to mill and season though. Good firewood.
The bark isn't like botryoides, it looked like it was filmed in aotaeroa, fast growing it can range from a nice pink to red colour, I just have to look out my window to see stands of it. From the bark it really looks like eucalyptus grandis because of the clear uniform smooth bark & the timber colour is vertually the same as saligna without ranging to a deep red.

Mr Paul Newman is since departed.

personally I felt the movie followed the book better then most, the book has a bunch of existential fluff, though they really should have left the part where Bub gets his self blowed up...

And yeah it did look a bit dry for what the book described... thats cause they filmed it in Warshington near Olympia... don't move here

Also please note that Mr. Newman did in fact climb and top that tree, and didn't look like an actor while doing it.

Sorry, but Paul Newman most certainly did not climb and top that spar. Also the film was shot in Oregon. From my post here back in '07:

As for the question about Paul Newman doing his own tree cutting and topping? Never happened. Good Hollywood editing for those scenes. The logger who did the actual topping of the spar tree was Wayne Bryant. To make it look like Newman did the topping, they found a small hemlock along a logging road and built a platform around the base. Then they notch cut the tree and started the back cut and left a saw stuck in the back cut. Then Paul Newman climbed up the tree with his spurs a few feet above the platform and held the handle of the saw for the close-up shots. The wide angle and pan shots of him sitting on top of that topped tree was really Wayne Bryant.

This is all new to me Windthrown, because Dennis Cahoon said it was him topping that tree.Lol
Been looking for a copy of SAGN on Ebay. Are there any published discussions about the book as there were with OFOTCN?
Thx

Is that one of the Brush Ape aliases? I do not know about published discussions, and none pop up in my book finder app. I use a book finding app to find the cheapest books online. Looks like Abebooks has a copy for $6 clams USD, delivered. That is about the same as the cheaper ones on Ebay. Looks like SAGN is out on BlueRay now at WalMart. I may get a copy. Looks like I can get a copy of the French movie poster too, called: Le Clan des Irreductibles. I can also get a lobby card set that has my avatar photo in it. I only want that one card though, not the set. 1st print novels are ridiculously priced on Ebay. They are not rare.
 
By the way, what do we do with the Brush Ape if he shows up in this logger camp? Tar and Feather him? Run him out of camp on a rail? Bury him at low tide with his neck and head exposed? Tie him to a tree and slather him with honey, and see what shows up? Hit him in the head with a live hornets nest? Or force him to hear his own AS posts and essays, endlessly on tape?

Kill him a lot.
 
Windthrown..... I doubt Brush Ape would show up but if he does it could get real entertaining real quick. Start him off in the rigging.

The possibilities are endless. You could tell him you were going to change roads and have him pack a block clear to the back end. Big block. He doesn't know anything about logging so he'd never tumble to the fact that the new block could have been sent down on the rigging. Tell him to hustle it up too. When he gets back to the landing tell him he took the wrong block and you need it back on the landing. Quickly. When he gets back from that trip give him another block, without a pin in it, a bigger one this time, and tell him that he's holding up the whole damn show and he better get a move on. When he comes staggering back up the hill to the landing from his latest adventure show him the pin for the block and ask him what kind of dummy takes a block out without a pin. Tell him that when he gets the pin in the block to just stay there and somebody will let him know what to do next. Send a radio with him this time.
When he gets back to the back end call him and tell him that he'll need a little Molly Hogan to hold the pin in and to wait until she shows up.
Turn your radio off.
Gather up the rest of the crew and go home. This works especially good on a Friday.

There are other things to do but this will be a good starter.

So having never needed to do this... Just how long does it usually take a jack ass to quit from all this torture? Assuming that said jack ass wasn't completely stupid, and maybe woke up once a day?

Dunno. I've never done it to anybody either. Never had to and it's really easier just to can a guy than to torment him. I've seen side rods and hook tenders who would send a new guy off on phantom errands just as kind of a sense of humor test and to see how the guy stood up. As long as nobody got hurt and production didn't suffer it was harmless.
However, for certain select individuals...
