    I think I’ll replace both taillights while I’m at it. I’m sure the other is in about the same shape.

    Funny you posted this, i just snapped a picof a monster white oak ill do someday. Its down by my river and shes a big one. Its cracking right down the middle of the crotch. I would think this thing has gotta be 4 cord. The canopy is tremendous also. I guess the guy that built my house had a zipline from the other side of the river up by the RR bed and anchored into this tree. Theres a 6 inch chain hanging in there at the top of the stripped bark area. 8FD82012-4F8C-4631-92CB-09DAF1E8E5A4.jpeg

    I’m looking forward to getting this one split and stacked. I’m not sure how many cord will be in this one.

    The 290 was brought as a spare. The 362 has been doing all the work on this one.
