Seems like yesterday when I only had 8 saws. Now I bring them home 8 at a time.

Best keep an eye out over there I have seen pictures of some pretty good sized water snakes trying to take fish from anglers.

Are you going to do some cliff diving while you are there ?

It’s pretty good stuff, it’s a cousin to Osage. Lots of folks like it for smoking meat. We have Red Mulberry & White Mulberry here. A couple weeks ago was my first encounter with White Mulberry. Those leaves look similar to Oak but the wood in both is yellow/gold.

Interesting... I cut one a few weeks ago, it looked about like what you have in your truck there.
I'll have to try smoking the next batch of bacon with it and see if it's better than hickory.

@Hedgerow & several other fellas are gourmet’s with the grill they will probably have a good run down on what it would best with.

@Sawdust Man

Here are the pics of the leaves from a White Mulberry. I was cleaning a fence row out and saw the leaves & didn’t remember seeing any chips other than yellow, I thought I had hacked down a small Oak.

Very oak ish looking leaves....
I was born and raised in western Oregon, we just moved here in January of 2021 so I'm still learning what's what around here.

Noooo.....!!!

Hickory and white oak...

No need to stray.. you should have plenty of both..

Mulberry can be used though if it’s Barkless and really dry.. as can most other hardwoods.

If I were to do cliff diving at any lake around here, I’d pretty much empty the lake when I hit the water.

Is white oak better than red?
