3 Lumps of Oak, Value?

[hamilton32]

Was wondering if someone could give me some advice.

 

I have been doing clearance work at a farm recently and I was

asked to take a look at some Oak that came down in the storms last year.

The owner wants to know the value of it and whether it can be used for anything.

I'm not sure as I have no experience with that sort of thing.

Its worth plenty as firewood but would be nice to make something from it or use it productively.

 

Its either sessile or english oak,

there is a large piece approx. 500cm x 100cm

a smaller piece 220cm x 50cm

and 300cm x 40cm

Its been down a while, there were small saprophytes growing on the outside,

bark was rotten in places and signs of decay beginning near the tares but the heartwood generally looked ok to me.

 

Anyone know what sort of value the wood has or what I should advise to have done?

 

Would it be worth milling?

 

Would someone be interested in buying it?

 

Might be good to make a bench or sculpture?!

 

Cheers,
