The city has ordered me to remove an Oak at the edge of my property which the local utility claims is too close to their service lines. The tree is old but healthy. I would guess that the trunk is about 16 feet in circumference and the trunk is about 31 feet long from the base to the split. I have heard claims of astronomical prices for quartersawn oak, and wonder if I could recover the price of a portable sawmill if I were buy one for this task. Can anyone comment on this?
I'm off to price a woodmizer...
