told me that this was a birch, but for some reason I thought Birch trees didn't look like this. By the way I took this photo about 3 weeks ago, the leaves aren't that much bigger now. I posted a down low shot due to the fact the tree is pretty busted up and I'd say dead. This is the prettiest angle I could get of it.BTW: This might be a double post for some, I accidentially sent it to rec.woodworking - not sure if that qualifies as a Freudian slip given the topic.
