    Have not been in the woods to cut for some time now due to back injury at work. The elec. company came by a while ago and dropped a few trees I bucked up and gave most to a fellow worker.

    I got out this morning early and cut down a few dead standing Red Oaks love the stuff. Boy did it feel great to be back at it.

    I love getting that dead/down Oak.
    Nice job. I guess the back is doing gooder, eh?

    Yes back is much better thanks. And for those that think all oak must dry for years. How's this for cut and burn.

    That's an 8" tree cut it split it and burn it if need be. But it's going on 18/19 stacks.
