I think this stuff is red oak, the leaves were rounded and the wood has a decidedly red color. It splits like a dream. Even when it splits hard like putting my manual hydralic splitter through a branch, it splits pretty easy.

Really likes the lines and would be interested in driving that model. Spend some time tracking it down and then find some available, to have her decide she really did not want one that badly and ..... Tease, that is what it is, a darn mean TEASE!!!! Taunt me with the possibility of getting another diesel, dangle that in front of me, and then yank it away! On the other hand, I do show up with homeless benz and expect her to be happy and make a home for them....
