How was your hinge thickness, shape, species and wood quality?

Did the hinge rip from lifting instead of rotation?

There was an idiot in charge Sean, the only relevant info I can remember.

How does oak hinge, generally?

Our garry oaks are few, overall, and protected.

My oaks are live oaks. Very strong, hard, rigid, brittle when dead. Pretty much like everything in the desert except pine. Spiral interlocking grain. Watching other people’s regular oaks, they don’t seem like a big deal.

[SeanKroll]

Do you think oaks take jacks ok?
