Jo-Ann,
This was in our woods in NH, where we have a lot of old wood that never made it into furniture.
Hope you are all healthy and not decaying!

Hi Richard,
Thanks for sharing this post. You might enjoy a book I read recently, The Overstory, by Richard Powers, if you haven’t read already.
Take care

Interesting points Richard. It is certainly sad to think of a majestic oak slowly becoming dos or floor mulch through neglect. Were you surveying in a public woods? Keep up the decay delay. An oak couldn’t have a better end of life as a piece of your furniture! Jo-Ann Michalak
