We're talking lumber Al.  ::) 

Actually the OP questioned the species/subspecies.   :)

Yes, and then we got into separating lumber. The thread took on a meandering I guess.  ;)

Well now syrup is maple .I don't think burr oak, pussywillow or pizz elm would make good syrup .

Besides that how did birch get in the mix ? Well then probabley about like maple I presume . :D

On the birch though and quite frankly I would have no idea as we are birchless in this area .You might see a white paper birch planted in somebodies uppity up front yard is about all .Along with a redbud or a thousand others not found outside of a nursery for a kings ransome amount of money .

Then of course come the blue spruce too which would make lousey syrup unless you like the flavor of turintine which I'd assume it would resemble .Yuck !

Don't cornfuse sap with resin. ;)  In the spring, peel a strip of fir bark and lick it on the inside. Sweet as any sugary sap. ;)

Now let me get this straight now .Are you saying through your own admission that you are in fact a sap sucker or am I reading too much into it ?

Never fear many have tried but few succeed in putting old Al out on the proverbial limb . ;)

Reminds me a story about an Uncle of mine.  My aunt was having a baby, and they did not make it to the hospital in time.  The baby was delivered in the back of the car.  At the Hospital, the doctor wanted to keep the mother and baby overnight for observation.  My Uncle was a real spendthrift and miser, and he asked "What for?".  The doctor said that he wanted to be sure that the baby did not have brain damage since the delivery was in the backseat of the car.  My Uncle said, "Well, that is not a problem.  He will fit right in with the rest of em."  My Uncle and Aunt had 15 children  :).

Not that I am saying that anyone on this thread has brain damage.  At least not obvious brain damage  :).

Nothing that fresh air won't cure. I mean if someone has been working too much with turpentine and BLO or something. ;D
