I got this out of the woods today. Sap wood is about 3/8", so its on the thicker side and the ring count is about 30 rings an inch.

Hi,

The one on the left looks like a really nice log, you should be able to get high quality staves out of that one!

By the way what a beautiful lush forest!

Hi Weylin, I am in Newberg. I have a couple of friends that like this stuff also,  it would be great to meet more. With the weather getting nicer maybe we could get some folks together to shoot.
