Very nice job on the photos, MIke.  Thank you for sharing.     This making sawdust is an absolute blast, especially when one can come up with such pieces of wood.

Boy thanks for those pictures Mike. they were great. Just looking at them makes me want to go outside, find something to cut down and then start sawing it up. Have a good one...  Dan

I dont know what it is with Red oak south of Interstate 80 but it all seems to just suck.  I know the feeling Mike. 

I bet I could count on one hand the number of good RO logs I have gotten from around here.  You had better cut it as soon as it hits the ground because it doesnt take long for the religion to set in :angel:
