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.

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

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.

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.

Yup I think we got it. fibrous acorn top, fuzzy leaf, they all match with burr oak. i think it's a Urban Pinnacle Oak tree which is a type of Burr oak. is burr oak a good bow wood?

Burr Oak is in the white oak family.  Don't make too much of that as Live Oak is in the Red Oak family and they are two different woods.  If it is Burr Oak, and we still aren't sure without a leaf or two.  But if it is, you'll just have to find someone who has used it as I have not.  Or make a bow with it and find out.

Not sure about the id, but you plant corn when the oak leaves are as big as a squirrel's ear, and it will be knee high by the 4th of July!  And you will be able to id the tree! >:D. Maybe. All the oak trees around here are imported ornamentals.

Here is my post oak, without the foliage it has gnarly limbs and branches.
