Monkeying around again



In high school, a friend once told me "Alex, you are out of your tree man". The reality is, if you've ever seen my friend Josh the arborist on the ground as apposed to in a tree you'll know the statement is more becoming of him than it is for me. So, speaking of monkeys, we were digging through the log piles and found a bunch of monkey pod that we had forgotten about. And since everyone loves Monkey pod, we figured we'd monkey around a bit. Monkey pod is interesting in that it can be a dark almost walnuty color when you mill it, a light tan color, or a chocolaty brown. We apparently grouped our log by species and not by tree. Because when we milled our latest stack, we came up with 3 piles of milled monkey pod that clearly came from 3 different trees. Attached are some photos. And in case you are wondering, we've currently got lots of monkey pod for sale.
