Hello all,

Since spring is here and everything is in bloom, I have two white oaks
that appear to have died this last winter. They are about 50-60' high
and about 24" in diameter. They are close enough to my house that they
will have to come down before they fall. Can trees that are already
dead be milled to 4/4 lumber for furniture and such? Has anyone had
any experience with this?

Thanks for your help!

As long as they're not rotted out in the core or riddled by bugs. Only way
you're going to find out is to cut them down.
