Does anyone know if it's possible to sell a single white oak log? My son

just bought a house that has a magnificent white oak that is too close to the foundation and overhangs the house that unfortunately must come down. It's gonna be expensive to take out because it's gonna need a crane. Is there anyplace anyone knows of that would buy the main trunk. I've heard there's a shortage of white oak for bourbon barrel staves but don't know how to sell it.
