Hmmmmm, methinks your old man and my old man are somehow related....... Sure you don't have some relatives in Cape Breton? Kind of been there myself. One of my neighbours that works in the woods a bit cut a large yellow birch tree about a month ago. He was going to send the butt log from this tree to a local mill to be cut into runners for lobster traps. Basically firewood price. Told him he should get the veneer buyer in from Columbia Forest products. That stick suddenly turned into a $380. US log. It was one of only 4 or 5 that buyer has seen in Nova Scotia, at 24" top diameter, 10' long, with mabey 1 defect. That old boy got converted. No more firewood for him. He never used to think it was worth his time to select those sticks. It's made me sick to see some of the wood that some of our cutters have wasted over the years, when you know what a Prime or Select stick is worth. Urrrggggg. Don't pop a blood vessel......... Rod
