Oak with burles on three of the logs and some extras with red ants. They cut down the trees at the cemetery and I missed the Holly. Darn!:mad: Oh well good haul here.

You bet, I just hope I don't end up like John in a move and having to dump all this wood.:D

Nice Haul Chris!
I Do know this if you turn wet Oak clean all your tools off before you get out of the shop don't know what it is but it will rust tools black in a few hrs. Trust Me;)

Thanks Jim, I'll make note of that and follow your advice.

Great gloat, Christopher! The only thing I don't like about oak is the smell... :)
