Today....

Just started getting into this log this morning when I hit some serious metal...Utterly destroyed a brand new $275 blade... Mutherfucker!!!!!

Decided to do a little digging to find out what I had hit and see if I could proceed with milling. What I discovered I was a "spiked" log. Pulled a bunch of 3/8" x 12" spikes before I gave up.....Pure evil.View attachment 67995View attachment 67996
Stuff like that is why you cant sell big random black walnut logs around here
 
It's an oak, my logs got mixed around a little at one point so I'm unsure which tree it came from for certain, but I'm thinking it was from a Laurel Oak.

My tree ID from just bark and woodgrain isn't the best.

Here are a couple of pics showing the bark and end grain a little better, if anyone can confirm the ID. 15904137911534887670314452504001.jpg20200525_082714.jpg

Spar was 3-4’ out of plumb and got it to land more than 90 deg from lean with a double stack and trucker-hitched sideline. Was pretty stoked until I was cutting rounds off the 6’ stump and pounded my wedge into the widening cavity dropping it to ground level. Must have looked pretty dumb, ass in the air headfirst in a tree stump; my happy place.2BF344AE-3636-46CF-84FF-E69E28CC02E4.jpeg
