This is end of the log from a very old, but nice, cabin in Kuusamo. Based on Finns preferences on wood, it has originally been Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). If you want, you can try tree-ring dating, but even on quick glance we can all probably agree that it has been pretty old tree, when it has been cut down. That is because the tree has grown in Kuusamo (just south from Lapland) and in that area forest’s rotation rate is around 100 years.

I liked that picicture of the log - simple and effective. It seems to have dried up a bit, though.

Nice ring pattern on the log. Sounds like you have been doing your homework so you should have enough L’s for the next several ABC Wednesday go-arounds.
