    Had the day off before I head down south to Deep Creek, MD for a guys weekend bash. Decided to maximize my time by fitting in an early morning fix of giant red oak. This sucker was huuuuge. Had to buck the tree and roll the giant pieces over a tiny bridge to the truck. What a workout! Went through 2 blades on the saw unfortunately due to metal so the hoard was only worth it for the workout. Here are the behemoths. Had to had split them due to size. There’s still 3/4 of the tree left.

    That's some serious hoarding goin' on there! I spent several years doing this sort of thing, rolling 300 lb. oak rounds up a ramp. After one decided to come back at me, I started to think about a better way.

    No cigars but you wont need a lighter tomorrow to ignite one! I guess heat doesnt bother zombies!

    Are you going to jrider 's place? He has a zombie fence up.

    Wanna see pics of trailer! You getting both scores in one trip?

    Is that a far ride for you? I saw on CL the other day someone posted oak for free but the picture showed black locust. That was about half an hour from me so it wasn’t worth it. Good find for you. I love cherry
