Looking for a sawyer in Clearwater, FL area

[mikemo]

Hello all.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I've not had any luck finding this info. I have a large Laurel Oak in my front yard that has to come down (36" diameter at the bottom). It was damaged partially in a fire in March, and now termites have started in the damaged area. Although I'll miss the tree, I was hoping to make something good come from removing it. If I could get the trunk of this tree cut into lumber, at least it won't be a total loss. I have a friend who is an excellent woodworker and I'm sure could make me something nice from the lumber. I see it as better than being turned into mulch or firewood. I'm assuming that I can dry it in a stack in my garage.

My problem is that I can't find anyone locally that has a portable mill. I don't have the ability to transport the trunk to a mill. Does anyone know of a guy who has a portable mill in this area (Clearwater area, Palm Harbor, FL) that could use some work?


Thanks in advance.
