I know old timers who pick trees for firewood the year before they need them and go out and cut a ring around the base of the tree into the sap wood. They claim this kills the tree, but leaves it standing to air dry... Sounds to me like a good way to make widowmakers, but that aside.... I wonder if it works like they think it does. I don't have a woodlot close enough to me to try it in, but think its an interesting idea for milling too... anybody else ever heard of this or tried it?
