    I've recently come into some lovely red oak. Cleaning up a red oak I got a few nice saw logs and I will have a ridiculous amount of wood left after that for firewood. However, I was wondering if there might be uses other than lumber and firewood. For example, on bottom end I left a 4 foot by 32+" "stump." I hate to see that go to waste. Would it be worth while to noodle out some big blocks for wood turners? Any other thoughts?
