I had a road cut in about a hundred yards up a ravine a few years ago and the excavator operator pulled out a 40 foot western red cedar, about 30 inches in diameter that had been on the ground since the mid 50's.  No more then about half an inch on the outside is punky and then solid and red under that.  Just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet.

Maybe a good place to use some of that "large" logging equipment. ;)

I have seen logs that have been buried for million of years... Pretty hard on the saw blades though. (Petrified wood of course)  ;D

I just jumped over to the thread about the 24' diameter redwoods. Now guys, after he said he was running for office you KNEW he was lying... Not about running for office, just about everything else.  ;)

When does a politician lie? When his lips move. Of course there are the 10% that the 90% make look bad.

I milled some cherry logs that had been sitting on the ground uncovered for four years.  Blowdowns from a freak tornado that ran through Vermont about six years ago.  I thought they were gonna be compost, mushrooms and mold on them, but the sapwood was shot and the heartwood was still really nice (and starting to spalt).  I got a hundred BF or so out of four small logs, not bad for free.  I know where I can get some more, too.

I also read the story of the 24' X 60' logs. The part that impressed me, was that the guy posted the topic at 2:10 pm and Jeff had shut down his scam by 7:45 the same day. He did so in a very polite and fair way. Thank God for people like Jeff who are sharp enough to pick up on stuff like this and protect the unsuspecting. Hats off to Jeff.  8)
