The Oak splitting while dryng. I call BS on that . We have several sheds/polebarns built with rough sawed Elm,Oak,Ash.Both red and white The Elm was the worst for warping. The red oak will split but not from the drying. Ash will split easier than Oak. I am sure even for your snow load a good Oak or Ash 2x12 will hold the load with 16 feet between the poles. We don't have anything built with poles as close as 8 foot. We are in Shiawassee county MI. Some of these sheds have been up for over 40 years. The last one was built in the 80's. We do bolt a steel plate on the pole over the joint with bolts through the pole and then some through the plank. This is on the outside and a short 6-10 foot plank on the inside . This is all squeezed up by the 5/8 bolt through the pole. 3/8 bolts through the planks. The trusses are even made from this same material 2x6 top chord and 2x4's for the rest. They have 38 feet clear span width. on one. Some have only 32 as that is the size of the shed. We have considered whether it is worth cutting the logs for sawing with sawing cost being 300.00 per thousand board feet plus the work to get it to the mill. This sawing price is with us helping on the mill. Taking the lumber away from the saw and rolling the log on the carriage. The old boy sawing is in his 80's.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
