Another hefty RO log

LocoWoodWork · Feb 27, 2022

Harvested another RO that was destined for firewood. Got it home and almost halved, once quartered I'll take it to have it quarter sawn. TBC

That’s awesome. What does RO mean? Red Oak?

Steve, that looks like a whole lot of work...on the other hand, it looks like a lot of tables, chairs, etc.!

That's what I'm hoping. Never can tell what one will find in a tree. The previous QSRO lumber is getting low so time to start air drying more.

Can you take pictures when you mill it? I'd like to learn how you quarter saw it.
