Gonna make a few end tables now for my game room!

Pecan. You just cut down a pecan orchard.

Swing by and I'll slice off a dining room table for you.

That would be awesome, I love the live edge tables.

This one is a little over 5' wide and 4' tall laying on its side. If you were close by, I'd certainly let you have one.

I'm not fond of the smell of red oak either. Where I do my cutting and splitting is out in the country. Right across the only road through there is a pig farmer. If I'm working with red oak it's hard to tell what stinks worse, it or the pigs!...lol.

I think you might be getting pin oak. Some call it piss oak.

If the sparks flying off your chain are very bright, its shagbark. I cut some at dusk one time, amazingg.

We've got a thing around here they call piss elm. Stinks so bad until it's *really* cured - like two good years - that if I have to burn it, I only load enough in the bin for the night. I don't know that it really smells when burned, but sitting there in the wood bin, it will run you right out of the living room.
