Hard to tell from the picture, not bright enough. White Oak usually has light grey bark.
Large rounds are no problem at all, I can lower the beam to the ground and roll them right up on it. That is, if I don't want to use the loader/grabble to load them...

how do you like the stihl axe?The second load I scrounged today was brought to you by fine German engineering , Stihl and LiquiMoly .
If you guy's have never heard of LiquiMoly I can tell you that it's a great product and they got some of the best juggs going , I pour my bar lube into the empties , perfect for pouring , the product is even Harley Approved !!!
Which splitter did you buy, is it the TW-3SSR? That is a very nice piece!
I'd love to have a tractor and bigger toys, but your budget for equipment is significantly more than mine. I am also on equal payment terms with the wifey - whatever I buy in toys, she expects equal $$ for travel time to Europe or jewelery or .... whatever outlandish plans she and her sisters come up with
I'll have to be content with my comparatively pauper-ish gear arrangement
Today's scrounge
I think I have FWAD (similar to CAD)
My wife took a walk around our yard and was looking at my splitter and all my stacks of wood. She turns to me and says your a wood hoarder! Probably a case of FWAD!

lol - ya FWAD me too!
that's not mine. It's the homeowners I'm cutting forRevturbo977: My aunt used to have the very same shed. IIRC someone else had it and it received storm damage and my uncle took it home and resurrected it. I think they got about 30 years out of it before my cousin built a new one.
Why would anyone want a spouse that works against them?? That's just a road to disaster!

SR ... glad to hear you're happy with your lot in life - me too.
Pro-rating the cost of my equipment and the number of years I likely have left to gather my own wood for fuel, when factoring in the cost of truck/fuel/insurance/repairs, saw, splitter, steel roof woodshed/shop materials and gear, I'm not saving much over using NatGas if anything, but I do enjoy the work and being self-sufficient, hence, they're toys to keep me fit and in the outdoors as long as possible.
I kid about a lot of things, but re my wife and all kidding aside, I'm a very lucky man! Sweethearts since I was 17 and she was 16. I make jokes about it, but it was actually my idea to make sure she gets same amount of toys as me.
I'm heading out to fire up the toys and my miserable old "obsolete" splitter today
It starts to feel like money in the bank.
