its the one with the white bark. this was taken before the leaves bloomed, its the last tree to get its leaves in the spring around here.

i also like redbud trees, but they don’t hold up to wind storms well.

I like red woods as well, but I really like bubinga wood trees. The reason why I like bubinga wood trees is, because that is my favorite wood with the drums. You should look it up. The bubinga wood trees are similar to the red wood trees. The bubinga wood trees are huge!

we used to have these pine trees in our backyard at my old place. their needles would turn orange in the fall, and drop to the ground. those were pretty cool. i watched them grow from saplings to 40 foot trees.

I love pecan trees, evergreens, and cherry blossom trees. I forgot orchid trees too.

Birch is my second favorite wood for the drums. I almost sure that the bubinga wood is the most dense and toughest wood there is. The reason is, I have a bubinga and birch wood drum kit. The inner part of the drums is bubinga and the outer part of the drums is birch. Also I can tell the way the bubinga wood sounds with playing the drums. The sound bounces off the wood very well and it is loud, therefore I can tell the bubinga wood is dense.

Balsa grows in South America. I think in Ecuador. It’s easy to carve cos it’s soft
