    Oak is my favorite. Nice looking rounds. Heavy to load some of the bigger ones I am sure!

    That was bigger than I wanted to load yesterday. Wood looked smaller driving by at 45 mph. Rounds were close to my physical limit,I've only been handling maple and ash this season so far. Different animal altogether weight wise.

    Hopefully before the new year the rest of these pallets are filled with more oak to season.

    Even when I drive by at slower speeds the rounds look smaller until I get out next to them!

    Nice score !
    Serious load of BTUs

    Some serious tree " trimming"

    2X8 for a ramp helps too
