    Love me some white oak....from the way it splits, the way it smells when cutting and splittling, the way it burns and heats.....Good stuff for sure.....

    Wow Griz, you hit the jackpot on this one for sure.

    On the 3-1 split, that is how I sold a bunch of wood many moons ago.

    I always associate the smell of white oak to a "vanilla-ish" scent.....either way I love it.

    290 has been my saw for many years now but after a little accident I also picked up a little 180. My wife had been after me for years to get a small lightweight saw at least for cutting the limbs. Back was hurting so bad I finally broke down and got one and absolutely love it. It is like a toy but I'm amazed at how much work it can do. I've even tested it on some 30" oak and it did just fine. A little slower naturally than the 290 but I'll still take it.
