A gift for my wife

In reply to the statement on slow rot, i.e. hence the name , 'Post Oak'. Post Oaks have burnt many a cheap wood stove bottom out in Texas and Oklahoma. They can at times be tuff to split well, as kossetx likely knows. If you don't mind what county in Tx. PM if you prefer.

In the old days before creosote, post oak was used for railroad ties because of its rot resistance. Also for fence post. We have a 100+ year old barn made from post oak logs. It's great BBQ wood though. IMO, the best. That's where a lot of wood I use comes from. It all gets eyeballed before heading to the firebox.

Not great furniture wood though. It has a real tendency to check and twist.
