I SEEN A TV PROGRAM THAT WAS ABOUT LOGS FOUND IN THE GREAT LAKES THAT WERE LOGGED IN WI. THEY WERE LOGS OF TREES THAT ARE EITHER NO LONGER GROWING OR VERY RARE AND EXPENSIVE, NOW DUE TO THE OVER CUTTING OF TREES IN THE 1800'S. INSTEAD OF CUTTING ONLY THE OLD TREES DOWN, AND LEAVING THE YOUNG ONES TO GROW UP, THEY CUT DOWN ALL OF THE TREES. THE WOOD HAD VERY CLOSE GROWING RINGS AND WAS WELL PRESERVED IN THE GREAT LAKES. THIS IS ALL OF THE INFO I HAVE. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KIND OF WOOD THIS IS AND WHAT LOCATION IT WAS CUT FROM. ALSO THESE LOGS ARE THE ONES THAT SANK WHILE A LUNBER COMPANY WAS HAULING LOGS DOWN THE COAST OF WI. DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ROUTE THESE LOGS WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP TO SETTLE A BET BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS. PLEASE E-MAIL ME THE INFO AT AJLERSCH@AOL.COM THANKS AJ
