Ponderosa PineI love all the tress on the list, but there's always been something about the Ponderosa that spoke to me. Plus as a resident of Ponderosa logging camp, I gotta support my local wood.
2nd place is the Western Red Cedar which is a sacred plant for row peter puffers. But in Seattle I had a 90 footer in my back yard, I had to clear its copious needles off the roof 3 times each wall, so we have a love/hate relationship.

The fags (Hi Bob Huggins) in Olympia just yesterday recognized that, in fact, there are trees in the 509 area code.
TTTTT, I know.

RedwoodSouth of Crescent City on the 101 is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Nice campground too. Actually pitched a tent there back in the day

I can easily rationalize Redwoods as my top choice as well. Spent a ton of time as kid among the Redwoods of Sonoma County, CA.RaceBannon said:South of Crescent City on the 101 is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Nice campground too. Actually pitched a tent there back in the day
Still arguably the best deck wood of all time, even over cedar. Also, fuck yo Trex @CFetters_Nacho_Lover

Western Red CedarWhen I logged off the danger trees on the ex-gentlemen's farm in Lebam I made sure all the cedars were left standing. and they were huge. Plus when the branches all broke off it made great kindling to start the fires. Had beehives living in the cracks and crevices in 3 of the trees.
Plus the wood smells better than any other. -

Alas, my Ponderosas are bigger and better than yours (more sunshine) and the MILFS are richer and hotter. -

CSB Tim: Everyone assumes my daughter's name is "Sienna" like the minivan and not "Siena" like the city in Italy after which she was named. It was only dumb luck that her hair is the exact color of the buildings there, so I could understand not seeing the connection, but, come on... I like minivans, but that much?
