Red oak

Sorry but no pictures. I have about a 16” red oak that’s been down about a year. It’s got around 30’ of straight trunk. I got out my 5105 Dolmar that I haven’t used in a few years, I forgot how much I liked it. 20” bar 3/8 chain cut like it was in balsam wood.

 

Sounds like some good stuff. Straighter is gooder in my book when it comes to firewood.

 

I have no red oak in my stacks, kinda weird as it’s been a regular for a while.
Nothing beats a nice sharp chain. Do you round file or square?

 

Round with a 2n1

 

Yeah, straight trees….., must be nice.

 

What????? A PA wood hoarder with no Red oak in the stacks???

 

I have 20 cord of chestnut oak c/s/s. Tons of that stuff is dying around me.

 

I know, lots of them dead/dying on my property, but I cut on state forest land too and most of what is dead there is Red oak family species.

 

Got a picture of it this evening,

 

Working on the top with my 180

 

With help from my son and grandson I got red oak 1 and 2 by the splitter.

 

With oak rounds that size, good you had help. Those ain't light and they get heavier as the years go by if you know what I mean!
