guess how old
« on: November 15, 2009, 10:30:04 PM »
braught this slab, along with 5 others home the other day. Not sure what type of tree it is; it fell on my buddies house :( he wasn't in at the time. I think it weights ~700-800 pounds - my friend (who is about the same size as me) and I we could not pick it up and had to use some Polish ingenuity to first load it on the truck, and then unload it :p.

I'm planning to let it dry out for about 6 months and then make two large coffee tables from it - for sale of course. Any takers ;)

How old do you guys think it is? I counted the rings and my guess was off by a decade.

I'm not going to bother to blow that up and count them, so a rough guess says 95 years.

Interesting, it looks like it started as two sprouts and they merged with the left one being about 2 years older.

I'm gonna go with 112

And if I had a house, I'd be all about the table.  What you going to seal it with?

I get the reference to the number and why you'd want to get it out of the house... i just don't get where he came up with that number... unless it was just a bad joke.  ;)
