I am needing to refloor an equipment trailer and want to use white oak. Remembered this tree from the fall that I need to take care. Looking at the pics, what do you GON'ers say.... definitely white oak?

Based on the pictures, I believe that is a post oak (in the white oak family). The way the branches come off the truck looks much more like a post oak.

Thanks for the replies. I plan on cutting it to 16' lengths and having someone mill it into boards for the trailer. The equipment trailer was my dad's and the tree is on his property. He passed away 4 years ago and my mom 3 years ago. He would be proud to know the tree was used on the trailer. He built a sawmill and it is taken apart. Putting it together will be like a jigsaw puzzle but hope to do that in a couple of years after I retire.

Keep it off the ground and throw some paint on the cut ends to reduce checking. Should be ready to saw up when you are.
Show us some mill pics when you get going!

See if you can find someone with the same type, and looking at another might help you figure it out. If it's circular blade there's one not far from Canon that the man, (I'd think) would show you his. I could help you get in contact with him if needed

It's in the white oak family but it's not a white oak.
Standard-issue Quercus alba.
