Burr Oak

[Ant1972]

What are your thoughts on this oak?

 

The bottom burr section is 4 foot at base, 6 foot long out to 3 foot. The last pic shows where an old bow has been cut off. Will this have an effect?

 

How much to charge for sale? Or what might it be worth if in a few years if it is planked and air dried. Will drying it be tricky? What thickness planks would be best.

 

Thanks in advance.

Looks Ok. Doesn't look too burred to me. Side branch could be pretty terminal. Will certainly affect all the boards in one way or another. If it was mine id mill in to 2 " boards, but I wouldn't buy it for more than firewood money.

Not much burr from what I can see, more like a unusal bark growth than burr. Be interesting to see the final product.
