Here we go with Puzzle #5. This is another Wood Identification and I have tried to make this one real easy to make up for the last two.
This may be our last puzzle for this year. I had hoped that we would be able to do a total of 10 puzzles with at least 7 real puzzles, but computer crashes, bill-paying-jobs and life in general had other plans this year. If we can squeeze another one or two in before Sunday afternoon, we will. Otherwise we will just carry over some puzzles until next year.
OK, for this puzzle, there are two logs pictured below. All you have to do is identify one or both of them to earn a point toward the overall puzzle prize total and possibly earn an individual puzzle prize. These logs both came from our farm: the knobby one was growing in the same fence line as that Osage Orange tree from Puzzle #1. The thorny one was growing in a more open area of the farm.
The knobby one is about 4 feet long and 4" in diameter at the base. The thorny one is about 30" long and 10" in diameter at the base. Both were cut near the ground. I have mentioned both of these species on several occasions.
