How did you like that live oak? Hard stuff ain't it? I have a few thouand BF of it I was going to use for flooring, but not sure I want to abuse my machines that bad.  :D :D

Nice.  Bet the nail was softer than the wood.   :D

X2 on that. They both look nice, but I think I like the live oak better. I built a porch/patio cover out of it when I was living in Texas and even using it green still had a hard time nailing it with an air nailer.
