[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1718370, member: 21382"] What usually happens is that there are pockets of sap wood thru the heart and that is what the critters eat and moisture destroys. It is worse in trees that get more sun. If you cut one out of a fence row and look at it it will appear almost marbled like a steak with sap pockets. The deeper in a stand of hardwoods you find them the more solid they are likely to be. A cedar grows til it is all heart and then dies hence the ones standing dead in hardwoods are the best posts they have done the full cycle and there is little to rot on them. [/QUOTE]
