Firewood?

Have y'all seen how expensive oak is?


It's not even a live oak.... it's a water oak only good for firewood

Water Oak falls into the red oak group, and shares many of the same traits as Red Oak (Quercus rubra). Red Oak, along with its brother White Oak, are commonly used domestic lumber species. Hard, strong, and moderately priced, Red Oak presents an exceptional value to woodworkers—which explains why it is so widely used in cabinet and furniture making.

A lumber yard would pay you for the wood... At $5/board foot.

Eta: OK maybe not pay you to take it away, but you could still sell it.
