I picked up a couple shorter water oak logs (red oak family) over the weekend. I'm collecting logs, so when I get a mill, I'll be ready.

These two logs are ~36" diameter (one 36 @ small end, one at the big end). They are 6.5' - 7' long. Log was too heavy to even move when a full 13.5' long. After they sat cut for a couple weeks, I could lift them with a skid steer.

If you are familiar with water oaks, you will recognize the tell tale signs of heart rot alive and well in this section. It's worse at the lowest area of the butt section, but still plenty of good wood.
