    thats funny you say that as i studied the pics (even though they were fuzzy) and though it might be white oak. OK, so IDing isn't your thing, but great wood scores definately are thats for sure. Pleasant surprise on getting white oak BTUUUUUUU"S instead of silver maple. Ill take that any day as would any member here im sure. Any more scores lined up this weekend? Get that WHOOOOOOOOD!!!

    Lol, hoarders dream. We case the trees in town, wondering when we can come in and take them away. Norway is some good wood. Share some pics of that beauty.

    Nice, I would jump on helping cut that up, cutting, loading and hauling is better than splitting and stacking.
