Probably some truth in it Stan. I've only framed with softwood. It would be quite a task chiselling out a large mortise in a dry piece of oak. Not to mention the fact that it would take years for a large timber to dry.
I still buy dimensional lumber. Just bought the 2 x 8s for the rafters. For the money it would be a lot of work cutting the trees, if I had them, dragging them out of the bush, hauling them home, then sawing.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
