That's a good one as well! Those sort of logs were the backbone of sawmills before 1980. Anything that is now being sawn were referred to as 'pecker poles'...but the industry was forced to change when the raw material did...yes, the new, rapidly grown small logs, produce usable fibre for utilitarian use, but don't have the beauty and most of all, the stability of the fine grained old growth...Cheers
