  3. That's the end of a log, the trailer is cocked away from the camera. It can't roll forward.

    1. Malatrope, you are absolutely correct. That is NOT a burl. I was both a logger and a burlwood table maker.

    2. And then there's the fact that the scaler is measuring the wrong end of a butt cut.
      Just goes to show you, even a hundred years ago photos were staged and guys mugged for the camera. Heh.

      Steering wheels almost as big as the truck's front wheel.
