Pat B:
Or possible a sawtooth oak(Quercus acutissima), native of China and planter here for wildlife. Where it takes a white oak 75 years from acorn to acorn the sawtooth will start producing in 6 to 7 years and after a few more yours produces lots of acorns. It is now considered an invasive exotic because it produces so many acorns so quickly. I think it is in the white oak family. It has an acorn like a white oak but twice as big. The leaves should tell.

SLIMBOB:
Bark does't look like Post Oak.  Burr Oak maybe.  The leaves look similar to white oak leaves. Quercus Macrocarpa.

Russ:
it definitely has the unique leafs, egg shape, bottom of its fuzzy, no sharp parts, lots of predictable dips and curves symmetrical to the other side, like most oaks that have white wood. sorry i'm not really good at explaining leafs and i might have missed some details or got them wrong.

Russ:
does the fuzzy bottom ring a bell?

SLIMBOB:
Burr Oak is also known as Mossy Cup Oak. The acorn has a fuzzy cup.  “Finely dense pubescence” is how the bottom of the leaf is described.
