gardnesd Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 We have some very large swamp chestnut oaks on our hunting property. Our neighbor just clear cut his place and it looks to be killing the oak trees. Does anyone know(already googled and can't find anything)if these trees have any woodworking value above red oak. Does it look like qs white oak when qs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a popular wood down south. I did a kitchen in it a few years ago from all reclaimed beams. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 we have a few boards that came from a old barn that was about a hundred years old. some of the boards were used in the cattle pens and they had turned black/grey over the years from decades of cow poo. thought about making them into a cutting board for my brother in law but they are realy good solid hard wood just stink a little when i cut them up more so then regualr oak.

duckkisser Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 did you say poo??? careful, mods might be after ya. cant see why it would be objectable since it is a natural function of all living things and it is used in a appropriate sentence.
