Since we began this effort in 2004 we have come across exactly ONE butternut log. Apparently it does not grow naturally around here; thanks to whoever planted the one way back when. We had it sawn and just now sold the last of the lumber.
My only point - and you already knew this - is that if and when you come across some special wood, hoard it. Many of us already do this but I am surprised how many have spare bedrooms that are NOT filled with lumber. Kidding. Sorta.
I believe there is a blight on butternut. I have seen 3 trees in Ohio and one in Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteRats, I was just logging in to ask if you had any Butternut. :(
