Oak Chunk Successfully Opened

Picture from my last blog post http://lumberjocks.com/dustynewt/blog/15613 ;

I managed splitting the gnarly oak crotch piece with my trusty 14” Remington electric chainsaw (I didn’t think it would work).

I got four slabs, 4-6” thick and about 14×26” in width and length.

Interesting spalted grain. Will bandsaw it maybe Wednesday and sticker it for drying. I can’t wait to see it smooth with some finish.

Thanks for looking.
