American white oak bounty

[jswordy]

Man, I just redid my cattle trailer floor in American white oak. Thirteen 2x6x10 were $88 from the sawmill. Plenty of scraps left to make oak strips with.

I'll pick those up when I come over for the barbecue.

Are you going to toast them?

Do they have a faint smell/taste of cow poo?

 

[winointraining]

cow poo helps the wine age. heheheheh

It's new wood. Oak is cheap here. The old portion of my house (1933) is built of it and my barn is all-oak. Where do you think Jack Daniel makes its barrels? About 35 miles as the crow flies from my house.

Once cut, I plan to dry them in a dehydrator and then char them.

You need to fly around and pick everybody up. There's an airport 2 miles from my house that will handle corporate jets.

Here, go ahead and land there and check it out...

Nah, I figured I will treat them just like the people do that everybody is buying them from in plastic bags!

Actually he is aging them in the cattle trailer. Can't wait for them to start going bad so he can redo it and get at the aged oak. LOL, Arne.
