    Milton pushed this red oak over. It had a pretty good lean so with the help of a little wind and wet ground it decided to give up the ghost. Got it cut back to the main stem. There’s about 20 some odd feet of trunk left to buck.

    When you said Milton, I automatically thought you meant the character from Office Space

    Didn't look recently placed. Might just be the patina.

    Red Oak love that vinegar smell and easy splitting. Haven't got any in a few years myself.
