Weights bark 119 113 101 96 / 429 Total - Tan Oak is very pernickity about peeling. The men never start on a big tree near the end of the afternoon nor even just before noon hour. A tree had its first rim taken and by reason of interruption the peelers could not finish. The next morning the second rim behaved badly about coming off. |
