I found this great red oak laying just off my fence line a few months back and I could hardly wait to get started on it. The weather is cool enough to start on it now, so I had to take a few pics of it for y'all. My avatar is the butt of the tree and that is a 36inch bar on my stihl. It took all of it to cut it in one pass too.
The splits in the back of the truck are 11 rounds from the top part of the log. I still have another 30 feet of good clear straight log to go! 11 rounds filled the back of that truck up so it is going to be a great deal of wood when I am finished with it because most of those splits in the truck will have to be split 2, 3 or 4 more times to get down to burning size. I am really excited about this one!
