Another red oak live fall very close to the previous one. This one succumbed to center rot and high winds, breaking a few feet up. It’s a widow maker, a hanging tree that is very difficult to remove without a crew and a crane. No plans to cut this one. #woodworking #woodcrafts

It’s been a year for falls in our woods. The combination of drought, heat, rain and wind has brought down a number of trees both dead and alive.

This red oak was a big one from a couple years back that’s still got good useful wood but is starting to show surface decay.
