The city has ordered me to remove an Oak at the edge of my property

tree is old but healthy. I would guess that the trunk is about 16 feet
in circumference and the trunk is about 31 feet long from the base to
the split. I have heard claims of astronomical prices for quartersawn
oak, and wonder if I could recover the price of a portable sawmill if I
were buy one for this task. Can anyone comment on this?

I'm off to price a woodmizer...

Anyone even thinking of felling an Oak tree of that size and age
should be pushed through a Woodmizer. Here in the UK the city could
have you imprisoned for felling a tree of that grandeur. Make the
*******s move their lines.
