Cut down a white oak today that I intend to mill. Also there's a big red oak on the same property, though it's been sitting out in a field for a while, so I am not sure what kind of shape it will be in.
Undershot my back cut just a tad, but the tree ended up going where I wanted (and, importantly, not on top of me).
White Oak - This one is 15-20 feet long - never milled anything that long before. Probably 28 inches in diameter.
Red Oak - there's some rot in there, but I am going to cut it open and see what's inside anyway. It's 11 feet long and 36 inches or so.
