Where can I get a piece of oak trunk?

Go cut one at a local wma

To chop and split wood on?

Come cut down the oak in my front yard. You can keep the trunk, and split all the wood.

Is the ground not good enough for the wood that you are planning on splitting?

I hate splitting on ground. Maybe my soil is softer than most, but it truly sucks. That little bit of give makes a lot of difference.

How about a block live oak? Try calling some tree companines, they'd probably give it to you.

THIS.
When I lived at home I know I averaged more chops with an axe or splitting maul on ground than once we had the metal plate on the ground. We got part of a fifth wheel plate to put on the ground to split on....it worked great as a "backstop".

Metal will dull your maul bro. I'll usually just use a chunk from the tree we're cutting and splitting, then split the last chunk when I'm wrapping up.

I split about 20 logs the other day, and had to keep moving all around the yard or it'll make a big hole

I ended up doing it on a piece of 3/4 plywood

You talking chunks or like tree-length logs bro - just sizing you up is all.

Ok, I'll revise. Anyone know where I can get an oak tree from? I obviously don't want to cut any of my big oaks and don't see cutting someone else's down. I also don't want to go just cut an oak tree down in the woods for a 24" chunk. What about...you know what, never mind...

Anyone know where i can just get a piece of an oak trunk?
