The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted August 11, 2019 My next-door neighbor called me today and said come check out these trees that fell with last weeks storm we had in the afternoon. His property comes down the mountain here beside l 65 Just a few short miles from Nashville. There's a creek that follows at the bottom of it that winds and curves down below the interstate . There was some kind of burst that came down through this valley and mowed down several big !!! No giant Normas trees. There is a Sycamore that is at least 3 feet in diameter with a 30 to 40 strait trunk. Also at least a half a dozen or more trees all laying in the same direction . Strange !!! There is also a beach tree with a lot of spalted wood embedded in it ! LOTS of bowl material!! Win ...Win!! The root system itself was at least 20 feet across 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #4 Posted August 11, 2019 Yes there is a bit of trade here. Of course the sycamore should bring a lot of $$$$ Some of the other pieces of wood such as the spalted beach....several bowls!!! Mine !!! The smallest of all these trees that fell was around 18 inches. This must have been one hell of a windstorm ! Which makes me think Kevin didn't Johnny Cash write a song something like this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
