My neighbor had a white oak go down. I’ve been splitting since September and the last gnarly maple just about broke me. A friend was good enough to lend me the log splitter and I used it to get through the knotty chunks.
I still have a some milling to do with some of the trunk.

Now you're spoiled and will have to go out and fine one for yourself.

You’re right, it did spoil me. I’ll say this, with the exception of the knotted and gnarled rounds, I can split faster manually. That certainly wouldn’t be the case with a fancier unit and a box or six way splitter. I can only guess what one of those Easton or other premium splitters cost.

Nice saw. I have a 7910 that I love. It’s in Michigan now getting the “sausage” treatment.

that’ll do the trick and put a smile on your face , I’ve never bothered with a 6421 always changed them up
Too a 79ccbut this one is lovely will keep it as it is

Nice, white oak doesn’t stink, like red oak.
It's also stronger especially when quartersawn and used to make furniture and tool handles. I used to do this as a hobby and occasionally on a professional basis. Here's a cabinet I made using quartersawn white oak:

The flat panels embedded in the doors are not plywood, but edge glued flat panels that I assembled. It was quite a project that took about six months to build. I kept it and believe me, I have no intention of ever painting it the way cabinets are made these days. I made the workbench shown in my avatar Pic also with quartersawn white oak. I loved working with it.

Grains look plain sawn in some of that that Edwin.

I love 1/4 sawn for the medullary ray show.

Well, I guess there might have been a few that were plain sawn. I should have pointed that out to the supplier in Iowa. He also delivered the 4/4 oak to my house and left out about 15% of what he was supposed to deliver. I let it slide.
