[PeteDuBaldo]

I had never heard of it either, until I opened up this badboy today:

"Ever hear of flamed ash?" like when your pants are on fire............too late and stupid, I know. Raining here, sucks. Anyway, that is one fine looking piece of wood.

Nice one...who is going to be the proud owner of that one?

Flame can happen on any wood, hoss. It's nice when it does too.

 

[koogie2k]

Cud...being the woodworking guy that you are and know more on the subject than I ever will....how does that happen? I personally have never seen ash with flame....can you elaborate a bit. PM me if you want to not take away from that beautiful Al up top. Thanks man.

You've been hanging out at the Ponderosa a bit lately..........

 

[robguitar]

I didn't know that was possible!!!

What a unique look. And by unique I mean awesome.

 

[brentrocks]

Hey Koogs.

From what I've read, we're not entirely sure what causes it. It's believed that it is related to stresses the tree endures throughout it's life. If that happens in people, you could cut me open and use me for a few BFRs.

Other notions about how it happens point to how sloped the ground a tree grows up on is. Maybe because it can add to the stress of supporting it's own weight on the angle.

Sorry I can't offer any more infor but that's all I've got.

Hey, what are you trying to say........that I'm old enough to be your dad....

 

[John C]

Wow - I thought my AL (same cosmetics) looked good.

I guess I'll have to keep living with the "plainer sister"

Dave, that's one of the theories that I've heard too. If you ask me it makes sense.
