Josh, what kind of tree is that with the red in it.
"gene"
Cedar and the real long planks are gum

Nice find. I'd load up the long pieces of that gum in a heartbeat on one of my trailers. Then to my shop and pass through a planer. That hardwood looks just like walnut with an exceptional texture and grain. If you were closer, I'd help for sure - you keep the short, I'd keep the long.
I sunk it all

How do you keep all that sunk, concrete?:scratchhead
Split a 55 gallon drum 4 80lb bag for the big stuff, the small stuff I use 5 gallon bucket or split 35 gallon drum. It's a lot of work for sure. This type off structure is forever.
Does the cedar and gum not rot as other types of wood structure? I'm planning to build my own piles and will accept any information given.
I don't know what last longer I just put out what I have access to. I figure the bigger the longer it will last, I have some c trees out near the bank that I can see and the have held up great for bout 7 years now.
As Josh Knows, I am a firm believer in large planks, stumps, Big poles, big tree limbs, other BIG stuff, etc., for BIG Crappie cover. Smaller brush and diameter cover works well for smaller fish, and dense cover is needed for baitfish, fry, and the basic food chain. It is an easy system to follow...you just have to be willing like Josh to put in the time and work!
What Josh has done, is the plan and blueprint that others should follow....I will not argue about which cover is best, because Josh's results speak for themselves....he sure has Done his Lake up right!
Nice looking country too!

Okay, that's fine. I fish on occasion, as well as do some serious wood working among multiple projects going on.Quote:

I have 150 or so 8' 6" logs waiting to be sawed of mixed species. I come to Monroe twice a year and could bring some down. Maybe we could do some trading or bartering.
I'd be all over that spalted white ash for sure. Most definitely worth a drive to Monroe for. Thanks.
What kind of things do you make?
All sorts of things - flooring, walls, furniture, turned bowls on the lathe, keepsake boxes, etc. You name it, I like fooling with such things. All the cabinets, vanities, etc. Everything here I made myself except for the antique pieces I acquired from the family.
