    Hey Wood Duck, its a red oak. It was 30+". A lot of good wood for sure.

    The top had died out of it so that's why I cut it down.

    Hey Erik, I am just south of Bloomington. I don't think I have any pics of my woodpile but I will be cutting some more this weekend and try to snap some.

    I started firewooding with my dad when I was old enough to stack a split and its been in my blood since. So almost 40 yrs now. IMG_1769.JPG

    Heres a photo from a couple years ago running my splitter on some red oak.

    THanks everybody for the warm welcome!

    Awesome! Quarter sawn sycamore has some fantastic looking character to it! For a somewhat non desirable tree, it just looks great quartersawn.

    Found this pic on the net of quartersawn sycamore. Just to show how cool this stuff looks. We're going to need to see and hear more about this cabin.... Lots of wood Fanatics on this site.....

    I'm not jealous... not even a little bit...
    Ok, maybe a little bit.

    Darn. Now my beer tastes like salt water.
