    Nice! Might have to split them with gunpowder.

    You've got your work 'cut out' for yourself! I got a couple of loads of red oak like that a few years ago. They were a lot of work but they will also make a bunch of warm winters!

    Dang, we should start a pool on how many splits you can get out of the one the misses is leaning on.

    Right where I want to be.
    I'll guess 200, but it all depends on the split size, eh?

    Dang, thats a lot of ash—-is that all they didnt use/take to market? I’d think some significant limbage was worthwhile too? That may be the biggest ash I’ve ever seen, dont envy the noodling on that multi-prong piece but you’ve likely got a hot saw to rip it quick—-Do keep track of the splits out of the big piece the missus is leaning on please.

    I will be putting the 362 to it with the 25" bar and see how far that gets me into it.

    It was the last load they were hauling- I met them en route and decided to try and make a connection. Everyone needs a good connection.
