  • Some White Oak In My Future

    Just really started noticing this bad boy along garden edge....It has had a void in bottom 3 feet like a hollowed circle for years and i figured matter of time....




















    Good size at base,but i know that is hollow...She holds good size till bout 20 foot with nice limbs....Well over 40 foot.










    I use it more for firewood,but white oak is a fine smoking wood...I hope to get some carvable,turnable pieces from top....I do believe "old Ironsides" sides were made of white oak....Fine wood....


    If i cut it now she would drop on some of my jack-o-lanterns ....Should dry out a bit and make great deadfall when i cut her down in spring(hopefully)...Maybe chainsaw her up in late fall....

Spent near 8k having some removed near da shack in da last 2 years cause da insurance Gestapo said so. These are ouside the landing zone....And can do em on me own...change that....I will be sippin & dem 2 son's will be on that gig!
