It is interesting that an 18" trunk on a tree in an Eastern forest is considered pretty big. Out here in California our oaks get enormous, but their wood is not commercially useful because the grain isn't straight. Here is a link to one of the bigger oaks on my place: https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-s92rPdq/0/b403117a/L/i-s92rPdq-L.jpg
