I was cutting up a very large Burr Oak that had dropped, in a couple of the limbs there was a purple center about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, when i split the wood it ran all the way thru it. The limbs were about 16 to 18 inch diameter, it also had a sour smell to it, anybody seen this before?

That must be it, I hit a nail in that limb and took 2 teeth off of my brand new chain.
