No I don’t believe I’ve even seen that in person. If you could set aside just one piece I can compare it to what I’ve got.
I found a piece of wood in the stack the other day just like that. I thought "why is that painted....wait, who painted it and why?...." I want to say my piece was oak, red I think. I will try to find it and look closer...
Here's mine. 3 years bare minimum and 4 is ideal. HL is probably my most processed high BTU wood, due to HL being in everyone's yard around here. I mean I am swimming in ash, but all ash is boring. Pun intended.
I have a full cord HL stack CSS Summer 2020 that i have for sale, but no takers. Havn't put a MM to a split, but well weathered. Yeah id be bored with all the same species. Despite not liking multi year drying woods, ill take more HL anytime.
I was starting the splitter a couple weeks ago and the compression jerked the pull rope out of my hand and poor little buddy got it on the head! OUCH!!!
