Another score - white oak?

[newburner]

I found this in somebody's yard. He said it was white oak. Any one agree?

white oak, nice score. don't waste it, let it season a few years.

Cool thanks guys. Yea I'm picking up wood that I plan on storing several years. This guy has lots more, the whole tree. I just got what I can handle on the way home from work. He said he will cut up the rest for me if I want.

These people are 2 far away to see its the north east popple. It is not oak and burns very poorly in a stove. But a furnace like I have will burn it good. Whats the address?

Very funny Dan. I may still be a greenhorn here but I ain't dumb! [emoji14] [emoji14] [emoji14]

Dammit! I was hoping that wasn't true. Good score congrats.

Ps the limb wood burns great, but the trunk creates creosote.

White Oak, the King of Firewoods! All is right when ya got some White.

He said he will cut up the rest for me if I want.

I would cut it myself if I could; That way, I'm sure it's cut to the length I want, I can cut out crotches to a shorter length and make chunks that are easier to split, etc.

Here is the 2nd load! I still have at least 2-3 more like this. I haven't even touched the trunk yet. It's 20' long, 30" dia, and straight as an arrow. He is going to buck it into 18" lengths for me.

Not too bad for a yearling burner?

Load #3. This is the last one before I get to the trunk.

 

[Woody harrelson]

[newburner]

I have to wait for him to be home. They need to be loaded with his backhoe. Hopefully this weekend.

Great load of oak. You'll appreciate that white oak seasoned three years.
