What's the opposite of a gloat?
The good news is I'm making sawdust - lots of it.
The bad news is that it's with a chainsaw.
A little storm came through and a tornado or microburst or some such weather demon knocked down eight large water oaks in my yard. No damage to any buildings but the yard is a mess.
Checking on-line, one source said the best use was for firewood and pulp. Another said it could be used for lumber.
Has anyone ever used water oak? Just wondering if it would be worth the time to have some milled.
The real groaner is that I have the new shop completely sheathed and ready to roof. Now I've got a few weeks of chainsawing to get done before I can work on it again. :(
