    Yesterday I was crying in my beer because the flood took a lot of my stacks. Today, Chip Drop leaves me a giant pile of, nothing less than, red oak! Big stuff and a lot of it. The man upstairs works is mysterious ways!

    Well, you can certainly use it after so much of yours was washed away. Glad to see that you are being taken care of!

    Chip Drop’s red oak is a fantastic gift—perfect for firewood or woodworking.
