Havent milled any Red Oak,White Oak (especially Bur Oak) can be tough at times.More time & effort than Black Cherry or Black Walnut,still a easier than Hickory or Honey Locust though.Milled a 24" Cherry 12' long from tree with broken top on property owned by friends of my parents in fall 1998,that stuff was a breeze in comparison.
