    Real good rounds and w.oak no less. Dang good firewood. I'd bring some splitting wedges and a sledge hammer back there to bust 'em down, rather than lift those heavy clunkers...

    Looks good. I like those big oak rounds. You get so many splits out of them.

    Well, that's not the whole story.....

    I told them if they don't roll their azzez into the trailer themselves, I'd break out the 372 on them again. THEY COMPLIED!

    Sorry bud, but I don't think that's white oak. Its oak...but probably black oak. The bark should be lighter for white oak unless the camera is playing tricks on my eyes.

    I'll take more pics. Those rounds were laying since last fall and I took pics during the evening. There is still more to be bucked, then I'll take pics to be sure

    It looks like red oak or coastal live oak.Pics of the leaves would tell.
