Maple Burl went into the WOOD CHIPPER!!!

[Clarence Martin]

Picture this :


You are eating Lunch and are told that while they were out shopping the other day, they saw a Tree Trimmer in Town cutting down a very old , large Sugar Maple tree. They then go on to explain how there was this VERY LARGE TUMOR LIKE GROWTH ON THE TRUNK OF THE OLD TREE!

You ask, " How big was the growth ?



They say, " Oh about 2 feet this way and about 2 feet that way! "


You then explain that the growth was probably a Burl on the tree. You then ask " What did they do with the Burl?''

They say " Oh, that went straight into the WOOD CHIPPER!! WHO WOULD WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT ? "

:rolleyes::eek::rolleyes:

Augggggggggghhhhhhhhh!

[Bob Bergstrom]

That had to be a big chipper to handle a large hard maple!

[Dave Fritz]

Would it be useful to contact the tree service and ask them to save things like that in the future? It would give them a return on an item they'd just throw away. I suppose sometimes it's easier to just chip it up rather than have to load it and haul somewhere?

Back to the wall and blindfold em . When you show them a finished pice they always say o that what that is , we didn't know anybody would want that .

That's like tossing $100 bills into your fireplace because you didn't know what money was.
