I think 23 tons has to be a major underestimate. If wood is the same weight as water it means it has to be less than a sixtieth of the volume of the General Sherman tree - and that's if you don't count the roots, which you surely should. Oliver Chettle 18:53, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, wood is lighter than water, it floats on it after all. The General Sherman is a Sequoia, which is a much larger species of oak. I find the size estimation reasonable. ZPS102 23:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
