I ran across this White Oak not far from my sawmill that was listed on Craigslist for free firewood. I could tell even from a blurry, out-of-focus photo that it was giant and needed to see just how big. It is 52" in diameter about 8' from the base and one of the two biggest White Oaks I have run into (the other is actually a Burr Oak, but it is in the White Oak family. Click here to check it out). Unfortunately, it was hollow all the way up, but I still had to get a photo. Good luck to the kids that want to firewood that one! Click on any photo to get a closer look: Even the branches are giant. I figured out why it went down. It was just a matter of time. There were a lot of old branch stubs that didn’t quite heel over. The water came right in and rotted out the center. wunderwoods | June 9, 2013 at 3:28 pm | Tags: Firewood, Lumber, tornado, Tree, white oak, Wunderwoods | Categories: Logging | URL: http://wp.me/p1QSTM-kv Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
