Do y'all think this will make some good planks? In another thread I'm trying to see how old it is. What do y'all think? It is around 25" diameter and was around 80' tall.

I counted about 44 rings, Seems a bit low for a 25" pecan though. There could be a few that I missed.

Well it's 24-25" at the widest part in cross section. I think it was 22-23" measuring the other way at its skinniest point of the cross section. Man it was just oozing water after it was cut! I had no idea it was going to pour out like that.
 
I cut all the stumps closer to the ground. One of them had what I think might be spalting? Is that what this is? How would that look on a plank? I'm only gonna be able to get about two foot lengths out of the older stumps.
