Another pic of the big oak. The wild part is we know this tree is no more than 60 years old

holy crap what u got for machines to move that big oak .... and nice mill there

I didn't have to move it. My cousin lives there and the tree blew over across the road and the city road department didn't have a saw big enough to cut it up so they called me to cut it up into manageable pieces for them so they could get it off the road. But even cut up it was still a hoss. The cookie I cut in the bottom pic was about two foot thick and I couldn't flip it over. It is going to be a table top.

Is there some interesting grain pattern there in the but or is that some water or sap in the wood making dark spots? Or bar oil?

I think its water and sap

Ah, I only asked since it was going to be table top. 

[timberfaller390]

no nothing special. Its going to be furniture because it was just about a foot tall when my grandpaw built the house in the background when him and my grandmaw first got married. It'll be sixty years this month.

Congrats to the grand folks on their anniversary and new table top.
