Good morning crew.
We got a small batch of morning liquids before the sunshine this morning, at the non-homesteaded location.
Rains don't seem to be stopping the hummingbirds from visiting either.
57f to 86f today

Missing the dwellings is always a plus! What length bar is that saw using? Did you do your own port work? I'd like to learn how. I'd be scared to try it on a fine saw like that until I learned on some lesser saws.

Good oak.
Looks solid.

If I can help anybody out with a transport it looks like I'll be making a flying lap to Omaha on Saturday. I know this route covers a lot of the regulars here. Let me know.

33"
I like longer bars for felling, it makes it easier for dumb ol me to not screw things up.

I do not port, I really don't know squat about such things.....I had that saw ported buy a local shop when I was still in Oregon.

Good oak.
Looks solid.

It's got some blue staining near the heart, so it might ruin my day when I get it on the mill.... but it is a nice solid log.
I'm thinking it's Pin or Chestnut oak..... it's not red, white, or post oak.

It is not pin or red. It definitely looks like some species of white oak, maybe Burr. Big man will probably know...

Very nice, the truck ain't so bad either...

Morning folks, storms were way to close last evening for my liking.

It looks like a burr oak..

Those are the ones that make those great big acorns.

There's a live one near by, I'll shoot a pic of the leaves today.

Matt has lots of experience with the Oaks down there, maybe the Burs grow differently in certain areas.

I have never seen one around here with a nice longer straight trunk, lack of lower limbs/forks & no canopy.

No matter what type it is, it should make some lumber or firewood.

 

[BrettL]

Does pin oak make good lumber? I thought I remembered reading that it decomposes?.... Good morning y'all.
