Here are a few pics. Got most of it cut up. Had a little fun with a crotch piece lol.

White Oak holds up a long time; You may well be able to pass that down as a family heirloom.
Yeah, you're always gonna end up with a few gnarlies. I just been chunking 'em up and stacking with the rest. Sometimes I'll noodle a few to get some squarer pieces that stack better. As long as they fit in the door, they'll get burned.

I've got about half of it split. How much yall reckon I have here? 1 cord?

 

[Woody Stover]

Just a guess, hard to tell from pics but I'm gonna say a little under, maybe 2/3-3/4. Let us know what it stacks out to.

Will do

I'd say a good sized bolt or something as the blue is very dark.

Found the culprit splitting thank God. It was 3 nails(I probably nailed them in as a kid lol)

It's all split. Now comes the moving and stacking part. Found several more nails and staples while spitting claydogg.
Love to smell a white oak. Think I'll pour me a toddy after this one!

You were fortunate to dodge all of those nails. Hitting anything like that pretty much destroys a chain.

Yeah I'd hate to cut any trees in the yards I grew up in or any of my buddies yards for that matter. We nailed, screwed, and bolted all kinds of things to those trees. I cringe every time I start cutting on a yard tree, haven't hit or found anything yet thankfully!

I luckily didn't hit anything either. I suspected I might since I knew we nailed stuff in these trees as kids playing in the backyard

Think it's gonna come in pretty close to a cord once it's all stacked. I stacked about 1/4 of it today before dark

 

[Rebelduckman]

Got about half of it stacked now. In a few years it'll make for some good heat. Looks like about a cord

It sure heat me up once or twice already! I'll find a spot for the rest soon
