Spencer's Shagbark Hickory

This shagbark hickory tree was burned in Spencer's mishap
a few years ago. It was time for it to come down to be used
for firewood and a few hickory logs. The 3 Teds worked well
together using new rope, an extension ladder and the tractor.
Grandpa had the honor of running the saw. The rings showed
it to be about 108 years.

This is so interesting...did you have hickory nuts? Remember that icing Mom and Aunt Margie made? The
3 Teds had me thinking for a minute who it was...T. Nathan! I wondered about the sawmill -now I understand about it. What is the plan for the logs? Bet the grain is an unique one.
