    Saw an add last night pop up for a downed willow oak near me. Loaded up all I could safely haul today in two loads. Offloaded it, cut to length and split it will stack tomorrow. 20200427_104304.jpg 20200427_114348.jpg 20200427_155141.jpg

    Nice score!
    What are your thoughts on willow oak?

    i have at least one chord of willow oak it’s been split for almost 2 years. I waited almost a year to split some of it and it seems to be rotting towards the bark side.
    It burns fine. Perhaps I waited to long to split?
