It sure would have nice figure in the trunk (if not hollow) nice tree, Give us a picture of the whole thing! Jim
 
If you are thinking about moving that tree you'll need a little more horsepower.
This has probably been posted here before but it is still one of my favorite youtube videos.

Definately BIG. Rea oak is my favorite wood to make furniture out of. A few years ago, had red oak go down in a storm. Hauled it to sawmill. Sawmill guy gave me over 100 ft as my share. I was very happy not to pay anything, noy to give it away as fire wood and I got some good wood
 
We measured some of the trees in our woods as part of our kid's home school project for tree dating. Central New York. Our oldest tree is a Shag Bark Hickory (slowest growing). 9 feet circumference and dates to year 1740. Next oldest is a 13 foot circumference White Oak. Next to that is a 10 foot 2 inch Red Oak.

Here is a white oak on my farm, it was entered in big tree contest in 2002. It was measured again during a survey in 2011 and was 23ft. 5in. in circumference at 4-1/2 feet above grade.

Red oaks in North Arkansas are dieing and an alarming rate. There are several large ones on my farm but the largest is over 19' circumference and over 85' tall

I have a dead one about that size. Been figuring on how to take it down for some time. It's on a side hill and some of the limbs are 2 foot through and rotted. Widowmakers are a real possibility. I;m thinking a ladder is in order!

I have some sugar maples that size or bigger. Sadly those old trees are starting to die.
