Firewood Finds

I have wood in my shop up to the rafters, literally, and I really do not have the time to be milling more. But he persisted that it was oak and had some real crazy grain. We met for coffee one morning and he brought a couple pieces with him. Here is a piece:

Okay, this wood was meant for glory. I think I will go over to his house and dig through his pile. I cannot help it. I need more.
