I never heard a tree quack. Well, I did once, but that was chemically induced.:msp_w00t:
Always known it as poplar. Or, as dad called it, "popple".
Ya OT ; that's a big turn of popple. We used to sell it in 4' lengths by the cord delivered to the pulp mill in Oldtown Maine. My dad got 19$a cord delivered. Loggin and loadin the truck by hand with pulp hooks.
Trailer behind farm tractor or on a converted ton and a quarter old Chevy truck
Called a jitter bug. .
Our "Log" truck was a 2 ton, 60 series Chevy with a 235 , 6 and a 4 speed with a vacuum splitter rear end. We could haul 5 cord per load. In the winter. 4 cord in the summer when the sap was up.
Lotta hard work. Not much money. Gas was 32¢ a gallon.
Ya know I had this image of some nearly washed up geezer that maybe should have retired 2-3 years ago but was to stubborn and thought he was to tough to throw in the towel... and then theres this pic of ya and it looks like yer still in your 30's...
thats a real impressive turn by the way.
