As someone who always feels like a burden at the log or lumber yard, I appreciated your suggestion on how to make one’s introductions - lay it all out and be clear from the start. Love it!
I’ve never heard the term “cat face” before - can you explain what that is?
Thanks Matthew. I've heard that term in MA, KY, and now Maine, so it seems a (somewhat) common term among foresters. I believe it's an overgrown or covered scar, often leaving a swirling or distinct interruption of the bark on the smooth surface of the log. This one also had a slight bulge with it as well. I usually consider it an indicator of a knot, though I suppose it could be any form of defect.
Yeah, I’ve never come across that term, as it applies to forestry, but I am by no stretch anything close to a forester so I know there’s a whole lexicon out there with which I am unfamiliar. Now I know at least one term from that industry! So, thank you for helping to clarify that for me, Andy.
....I'm no expert here as well. And no one provided a definition. I'd describe it as a working understanding (that's possibly incorrect) more than a absolute confidence on the forestry/timber term.

But I think I'm close with it. Thanks again....
