    You guys and your oak......*sigh*.....the onlyoak that I even know of is a white oak on another guys property in my town. I doubt that's ever coming down. Oh and he burns wood too, I won't be getting any of it.

    Great score! Oak is tops for me. I love how easily it splits and how great it burns.

    No kidding! Now, I have never split any Oak, but from some of the videos that I have seen on YouTube, I can't believe those guys were swinging an axe right in the middle and actually splitting huge rounds 20 or more inches in diameter. I had a hard enough time today splitting all the green cottonwood I picked up a day or 2 ago. And I'm only chopping off the edges little by little.

    So happy to see you still out working milleo. Nice wood too. Also so happy to see you back on the forum as we don't see enough of you here. So as a reminder, I keep this around:
