I don't know how far out of the ground your lowest log starts but the most interesting grain is in the crotches and in the stump. Even the part in the ground is interesting but unstable wood with wild grain. I had a large oak fall over in my yard into my neighbors yard. The main trunk was hollow and I paid a wood removal firm to remove it from my neighbors yard. But I had them leave a bit of the tree where it broke including the stump. I then cut that up crudely with a chain saw and then slabbed it on my bandsaw. No large pieces but I made this stock for one of my air rifles and have a few other small pieces.
