    But I think it would have been a bad day for a chain… this is the first one that I originally hadn’t seen till I started splitting and found blue stain. Only 6 nails…:faint:There original one I found with a near glancing blow to the nail head. It had only 4 nails in it.:faint: …. What ever they intended to hold up was pretty substantial….:hair:

    Didn’t think of that… but Possible… or a play house…. But the guy that cut the main base down said the we’re taking the base on a flat bed to make table tops… hopefully they didn’t find any….

    Nails! The hoarders enemy! Maybe kids building a tree fort? Remember how much fun it was using a hammer as a kid? Of course i still enjoy pounding nails, just not into trees!

    One thing i like about oak is the "warning metal" the staining gives you.
