You're darn tootin'.

We cut about 65 Hedge trees for fence posts in '86 & '87, right after we bought our place. The last time any of them had been cut (with an axe, yet!), based on ring count, was 95 years prior.

I am still pulling old old fence posts out of the ground in the process of removing fence we have since replaced. The oldest, still solid and making pretty decent firewood, were cut with an axe. Well over 100 years ago, if I am figuring right.

Lusk says Bois D'Arc is the wood that "lasts for 75 years, then turns into a rock."
