A Sylvan Curiousity

   / A Sylvan Curiousity #11  
I have a cherry that ate a locust post that had been leaning against it for years. Just about any tree will eat a wire fence, horseshoe, maple tap, etc. I've found enough that it became unremarkable when running into one (and doing a number on a chain).
This is the primary reason sawmill workers must wear eye protection, some go as far as x-raying trees. Mills in my area normally won't take a yard tree or boundary tree figuring that over the decades somebody had to have hammered something into it. Goodbye veneer blade, hello shrapnel.

Last summer I noticed about a 4 ft length of maple hanging on a hydro guy wire.
It was about 4" in diameter.
Looked like they had cut away underbrush and left the trophy.
Guess the chainsaw was allergic to guy wires.
