Another tree ID

[WDH]

I suspect that it is either water oak, willow oak, laurel oak, or nuttall oak.

I guess I'm odd because I like the smell of Oak...Red Oak, White Oak, doesn't matter. It's a pungent, acrid smell but also pleasant to me.

It is interesting how different the smell of white is from red oak.

Must be those tyloses bottle up the smell and the red oak just passes that gas.  ;)

Sadly, that tree is 30 miles away and the woman wanting to sell it just doesn't understand the time and costs involved moving it to a mill.
Judging by the pics she sent, it would only net around $200 Max(by looking at the pics i guestimate 5 tons max).  It could cost her that much just to get it moved.  I'd love to see what it gives up but what she would get paid for it's weight would maybe just cover the moving costs.

BT,

:D :D :D

I bet that you are right!

This looks like a get rid of it for free tree, not an I want money deal.

If you think you could $200 out of that log, you should go get it. Personally, I wouldn't drive to the end of the road for it unless I was going to cut it for firewood. I also bet it has hardware in it. It has been down too long, prolly sap stained to beat Hell, and shakey. It would make decent firewood though...but not 30 miles away.
