When you cut some species when the sap is up - they "****" when you fall
them, (the sap/water flows in streams out the cut) its the same with
"****-fir" in the north west, i.e, noble fir or white fir.

Subject pretty much says it.

I still use this term and it dawned on me that I have no clue what it
refers
to. Nor do I know where I picked it up. I must of picked it up in the
60s
or 70s.

I do remember it being used to refer to oak used in pallets, were I still
use the term today.


Thanks in advance,
Chris
