Is the center of dead oaks galls have killed any good for lumber? Or in the process of killing?

The gall wasp larvae make the leaves fall off, damage thin stems and weaken the immunity of the tree. Usually other issues then kill the tree. The lumber from the oak trees should be good as long as it is harvested before or soon after the tree dies.

Are you talking about galls from wasps like Keith mentioned or a burl like a large round bump on the bole of the tree?

I've seen some mighty big Oaks with MONSTER galls on them, still living and doing fine.
