I /we figured out a method to access his account, I had some help from other members and my daughter as I am not the greatest at figuring out techie stuff.

He collected many spruce sticks that were loaded with burls, the one he is holding there is a twister. Thanks for posting.

I think that was one of the Diamond Willow trees he searched for. The walking sticks, canes and crutches are valuable . Don't know the value of one that big.

When I was up there I seen these type of big sticks for sale at tourist trap centers and they sold for good sums of cash. One I seen just outside Watsons Lake had a tag on it of $250. on my return trip homeward the stick was gone so I asked the store about them and the reply was they sell like hotcakes., many sticks were too big to put inside a car or van.

Let me know, I can

Thanks for doing that. At some point I hope his family members contact me directly, there is one of our members working on that so that I can give them the info they need to access his account.

Let me know, I can send you guys their facebook pages.

I went back and found the thread on that stick I ask John question on what it was and what used for.

That’s a 13’6” diamond willow I found about 4 years ago.
It’s hanging from my ceiling right now.
I have about 80 pieces of this stuff.

Railing, posts and stuff.

Very nice, I had not seen that pic before, must be a bit more recent.

When I went through Chicken Alaska on my trip over The Top of the World Highway the building closest to the gravel road used the burl posts for roof support, seen this kind of thing all over the North.

Gypo posted this photo here at AS years ago. I thought it may have been him.

It is him in the photo? Or something he found and posted here?

He was crazy enough. I'll gladly delete this if found disrespectful. Or if it's not him.

Totally remember his name and input on here along with this photo. Never met him in person along with a lot of others on here. RIP and have fun up there sawing logs and talking saws with my dad.
