I´m not enterily sure but I think it has to do with the floating... Traditionally houses were built with logs lying flat on top of eachother, joined in the ends. The timber was debarked and used in full lengts or planked and used for flooring. When the log was used for floor they used the whole width of the log and just made the sides flat so that every plank was tapered, they turned every second one "upside down" so every broad send met a narrow end and thus made the planks "straight" They didnt waste any material cutting the logs into straight "sleepers" before milling. I think the "scoring" made debarking easier or had to do with the actual transport in water, but I havent found the answer yet.

The brown on the bark? Its what happens when you give dead bark with white rot behind it, a few whacks with the ol' hammer:blushing:

Thats the only one I could think of with the gils...but I have never seen it on Lime around here! And never seen any wrinkeled up ones before so nothing to compare with.

Hi! Yet again I´m calling for the knowledgable....! Cant for my life think of what it is? Any ideas? Low down on a big lime growing on two sides of the tree, on one side the bark is dead and on the otherside there is som visable decay.

Great initiative! What I usually do is just ask them to "Pass it on" and do someone else a favour in the future....imagine a taxi stopping as youre walking along the road on a rainy day offering you a free ride! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmo4Y6Bgzjo]YouTube - The Coral - Pass It On[/ame]

Forestry work in Norway & Sweden
Xerxses replied to Brushcutter's topic in International Arborist Forum
Dont have any contacts that are looking for people at the moment... Forestry is 98%harvesters today so without proper training and certificates its hard to get a foot in... Some companys are looking for drivers of forwarders, some experience is needed and prefereable "ADR" training and such. (Handling and transporting of flammable liquids) The ads are in swedish but googletranslate should give you an idea what they are asking for.

Just found this vintage film of some real men logging in the winter. It was a hard job, working close to nature, with horses and wildlife close to you....no chainsaws... In the end you can see the unloading area on the frosen river. In the spring as the ice was melting the next phase in the industry took place, a busy time for the log-floaters, and a dangerous one.
