I'm posting these for Tim @Cat 525 out here in Kansas. It finally dried up enough for his last logs to get hauled off.

The growth rings on some of these spruce are pretty impressive.

Those rings almost remind me of a Sequoia's 1 - 2 inch rings.

Yeah, they are certainly growing at a fast rate.

I’ve counted 70-80 rings in a forest grown oak that was only 8-10”. There’s a reason why it’s called hardwood!

I have a 5" diameter pear tree trunk that is 33 years old. Distressed wood I believe.

That’s pretty tight growth. The old-growth fir is generally really tight grain as well. And second- growth Douglas fir usually is nothing like the spruce. Certainly faster growing than that oak, however. Square-grind and soft trees, I love it!

I don’t remember the exact count but if memory serves it was around 20 per inch half way out from the heart.

Looks like it for sure. A lot of the nicer fir we cut look just like that as far as growth pattern.

I should add that that spruce came from a stand that was thinned 15 years or so ago. If you guys have seen my pics with all the hemlock understory, it’s from the thinning. The trees didn’t get much taller, but fatter.
