Went down to son’s Ranch to do some shooting today. Then we walked the property, 5.5 acres. In the far back corner we are talking and I look up and a giant Willow Oak is down, had to look that up. Approximately 24 inch diameter. Son gets the idea this is lumber for a picnic table. So who do you think gets that knod and he thinks it can be done with chainsaw. Oh boy that is a stretch. Guess I will look for someone with a mill. 

Had to look it up too. Says it's a part (variation) of the Red Oak family so not really a good candidate for outside furniture without a lot of ongoing preservation. Regardless, 'aught to be some nice turning stock for you from the smaller limbs.

 

Hope you can find a local sawmill service. Keep us updated. Following along.
