I've got a dead red oak tree. . . Problem is it is dry and the saw chain dulled after cutting the tree

Red oak is pretty wood. Have you considered it for your plank flooring? Åsk local mills about charges. If feasible, cut it into the lengths you want the planks, haul it to the mill and let them cut it, bring it home and sticker and cover it. More rural mills today also have planers and can make T&G.
