"From what I've read... Softwoods tend to start with a left spiral which changes to more vertical or right spiral as the tree matures. Hardwoods tend to start with a right and move towards a straight or left spiral."
Cool topic. I find it interesting how trees grow and timber moves. I wonder too what the reasons are for the spiraling trends. Would the sun changing in the sky through the seasons effect this?
Anyone, are the points where these right to vertical or left to vertical, etc. at a general point on the tree?
