the butcher strikes again .... 3+ cords Red Oak

90' oak taken down . its gonna take about 5 loads with my 4x12 and truck bed , on load 2 and havent even dented it or gotten to the trunk . blew a tire on the freeway , no spare... lesson learned. i got two brand new wheels/tires, now i have 2 spares ! kind of fun though. all the rounds were too big in the trailer to use as a block to rest the truck jack on for more leverage to get the flat tire off the ground , so i had to start up the old 61 on the side of rt 90 to cut one in half. talk about urban logging!

thanks guys . the trunk was about 3-4' , so the rounds were pretty big. i still have to maul them into 1/4 pieces for easier hauling .
now that ive been looking at it ..... it looks , smells, and cuts like red oak .... but the leaves strike me as a pin oak for sure: thinner, deeper lobes like in these comparisons:

either way , they both burn about the same.... i just find it crazy that a pin oak got this big . but they are fast growers. ... according to the neighbors watching, the tree was planted about 70 years ago , which would lean more to a pin since they grow faster .
who knows... itll burn nice!

Good thing i wont be needing the snowmobiles anytime soon ....
