I’ve heard about old timers sounding trees with the butt of their ax to check for defect and that it’s a lost art. Does anyone with some knowledge on this want to fill me in? It seems simple enough that dead wood or defect will sound different than a live healthy tree, but I’m missing the part where it’s an art. I‘m about to start whacking trees to find out for myself but wanted to know what the deal was and what to listen for first.
