Giving the tree a chance to stabilize and recover after being collected is a good idea.

In the meantime you'll want to be looking at the trunk from all angles to see where you can find an interesting line. Natural oaks almost always have a twisting trunk with a lot of character. Once you have had it growing for a few months you should start to see new growth that may help you refine your selection.

Regards,

Matt
