Gathering Balsam Fir Tips for Maine Christmas Wreaths
Balsam fir is used to make Christmas wreaths and Christmas centerpieces in Maine because it is plentiful and makes beautifully fragrant wreaths. The tips of the branches are used which is the end portion. The tips are cut in lengths from 12 to 20 inches. One tip is normally broken into two or three pieces, bunched together and then wired onto the wreath ring.
Gathering the balsam tips is called tipping. Tipping can’t start until late fall after the needles are set which is normally after the first few frosts. After the needles are set the balsam fir tree will stop growing, staying dormant, until spring. The pores in the needles are sealed by a waxy coating that covers the needle’s surface. If tips are gathered before setting the needles fall off in a short time and can’t be used. In Maine, balsam brush shouldn’t be collected until after November 1 with a minimum of three consecutive 20 degree or colder nights.
To gather tips on privately owned forests the tippers have to get permission. Large corporations issue permits with fees for their property. Most wreath producers are very particular about the quality of the tips they purchase. It’s hard to produce a top quality wreath if you don’t have top quality balsam tips to start with. The tips should have needles on all sides of the tip’s stems appearing rounded. They should be a dark green color. They also should be free of any sign of insect damage.
The best quality tips come from the middle of the tree. The branches on the top of the trees oftentimes have long stems and the bottom branches usually only have needles on one side. Naturally, wreath producers purchasing tips are looking for the deep green, rounded tips that come from the middle of the trees.
After cutting the tips are stacked on a stick in alternate directions until the stick weighs between 50 and 75 lbs. with twine attached to the ends for carrying. They are then taken to be sold to the local wreath producers. The tips are sold according to their weight.
Global warming may have an adverse effect on the Christmas wreath industry in Maine if it continues as predicted. As the fall gets warmer and warmer it’s possible that we won’t have the needed frost to set the needles on the balsam fir trees until it’s too late for the Christmas season.

Will adding sufficient dense meterial on round nose bullet tip increase penetrability largely on a fast round?
hard dense meterial (titanium gold perhaps) then hard steel behind
total hard dense does well though!
don't say weather it is possible or not!

I am a ballistics expert.
Simply adding dense material on the front of the bullet will throw off the balance - cause it to wobble and tumble. There is no way you can accomplish this with good results and maintain the ballistic coefecient without having a huge machine shop at your disposal.
That said - many of the 'high tech' bullets produced 50 years ago were indeed constructed on a lathe. Going this route would be your best chance for sucess. You would need to electrically bond your high strength alloy with a dense material, lathe to the proper dimensions, and use a Corbon kit in your desired caliber to add a copper jacket.
I live in Alaska and have a lot of experience taking grizzly bears and moose - some of the largest and most dangerous animals in North America. The one thing you do not want to have is an untested bullet chambered when you target a large or dangerous animal - not unless you have a back-up hunter 'just in case' ready to fire.
Most of the current high tech bullets are designed for medium thickness hides and then quick expansion. Not a good choice for truly large animals. I think you are better off with the tried and true standard round nose, or , perhaps move to the Nosler Partitian style - I prefer the Nosler Partitions.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
