Hah yes, nice comparison!

@rexi
Oh cool, that makes sense!

I wonder if it also has something to do with moisture retention for similar reasons, usually these ties are coated in moss, but temperatures have been near freezing and so maybe the softer wood has become unsuitable while the grain thaws more quickly or something.

@lovemakeshare
Oooh that is a great story starter! Dang! Thank you for giving me that perspective!!

Moss coming out of the woodgrain on this tie. I've never seen it this "detailed" before, beautiful!
