Sorry guys, more wood.
Bought some red oak logs for firewood, turns out at least a quarter of the log truck load were saw logs.
Started quarter sawing some today.

Unbelievable how much stress is in the partially dried logs, This is the lift at the end of an 8 foot log sawed in half, just before I broke through the other end. And you thought steel was bad for stress relieving.

About 150 board feet out of 4 logs, best is zero waste, these slabs go into the boiler. At the current $6.50 / board foot retail not a bad afternoons work.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
