[QUOTE="bwalker, post: 7919247, member: 2495"] That depends. I've never cut any coastal timber, but I have cut old growth high elevation Douglas Fir from the interior and its harder than all the coniferous species I cut when I lived in MI. By a good amount too. I would imagine your pine in the south is even softer than the stuff in MI based on its growing season, but I can't say for certain as I have never cut it. As for The Bob. Alot of that country is lodge pole pine. It's pretty soft stuff. Bow sawing some small camp fire wood hardly constitutes a crap load. The one difference is that in the west, especially the coastal areas and the wet belt of Idaho and Montana is that the timber is much bigger than what you find in the east on average. [/QUOTE]
