I know nothing about trees and wood, so would appreciate advice from someone who does. My mom just had a very large, very old oak tree taken down in her back yard. It had been dropping large limbs from high up, causing damage to her roof and vehicles. Now that it's mostly down, there are large, thick logs lying all over the yard, and we're considering selling or trading them to someone for furniture making instead of letting the company that's cutting it down haul it away. My mom says she wanted to try and count the rings to see how old the tree actually was, but that the wood is so dense she can't even make out the rings. Does this mean it's the type of wood that would be coveted for creating furniture or millwork?
