I have very large (living) white oak 32" (inch) diameter and 60-70'(feet)
tall that will need to come down soon as it is slowly becoming a hazard.
It would be a shame if it were to go up a chimney or into some chipper
unless that is all that is possible.

I was hoping I could salvage the wood somehow, possibly for making boards,
oak flooring possibly ? any other ideas ?

How do i go about that ? who to call ? what to search for ?

I don't know the value of such an idea (how much board produced) nor who
or what to search for. A more knowledgeable neighbor said a big mill usually
won't touch any urban trees or they won't touch the first 12 feet due to
contamination with nails, screws, etc . Additionally he suggested with
larger mills the tree will just be added to a collection of trees with no
guarantee any boards you get will come from that tree.

So I am looking for ideas and advice on what to do with such a large tree
and how to go about it ?

Thanks for any helpful ideas,
robb
