Decided to do a little buckin yesterday 90*so I went to the locust grove where I've been buckin the last 2 months.Hot as you know what flies mosquitos poison ivy got it all in this place.Hauled the atv in and cut a huge load of air dried locust,and 1 cherry that got in my way.As I was working in the woods the friend of mine who own the 116 acres asks me if I ever saw the downed red oak in a dense blackberry multiflora rose thicket,I said no so he tells me it fell 7 years ago in a storm,I said probably well rotted by now but mentioned I'll have a look at it.Well I hack my way into this mess and I see this oak no bark sunk in the ground about 4 inches and maybe 50-60 feet in length.Took awhile to hack off the thick growth of brush covering the tree,no bark and looked punky,anyway I took a test cut shown in pics and to my surprise it was rock hard and dry as a bone. Took about 2 hours and 2 chains later I get her bucked unbelievable piece of wood absolutely dry and hard as stone,very heavy. You figure 7 years old and not one piece rotted ,it was a pain cutting and I dulled a new chain halfway through hitting the ground but got her done,this woodcutting thing is a learning experience.
