I think the Gypster is in the Yukon or some other chunk of frozen tundra and just recently got a satilite dish for internet .

Oh ,he's got to around someplace I would think .:lol: He's pretty good at being incognito ,so to speak .;)

Sounds about like figured walnut for gun stocks or musical grade maple for violins etc .Niche market ,nice if you can get it .

Those prices sound like some of that fiddle back maple they recovered from lake Superior .Sunken since the early 1900's . T and G Ellis ,a local veneer exporter had some exotic cherry they sold the Japanese for I heard around 20-30 grand but then again you can hear anything .

Well as I said before no way in the world that log would fetch that much here . It's ironic because this area produces the finest black walnut in the world too as well as white oak .Pa. red oak is better they say .The Ontarioites claim their maple is better but the largest producer of bowling...

Well ,what ever you do don't be advertising the fact you got a good chunk of change from a yard tree .Before too long you'll have to be paying for removals rather that getting paid for them ,not good .

Awe gee,bust my bubble .I was just about to buy a used log truck ,quit my job and haul yard trees into Canada .,shucks .:(

Say what 3 thousand dollars US funds .Oh my I am in the wrong business for sure .Good heavens I must have burned up a million bucks worth of the stuff at those prices .

Well ,get a truck,tell me want you want ,halvsies would be nice . Got oak .:D

Say what ,2gs' and he wants the limbs .I'm in the wrong business ,but good for you .:thumbup:

Second that .I caught the part were it was mentioned that locust was used for the pins .Darned few people know that . You must have done your homework .:)

Seeings how that structure is all or mostly oak and pinned it will likely last a couple of hundred years if your great grandchildren keep a good roof on it . Graded lumber,what hogwash is that ?:what: Politics at its' finest . Fine job though even if the county doesn't like it .

Very nice,good job . Now here's the part that sucks with a half life .Your logs ,your hard work .Put it in the form of a building and the greedy azz government thinks you should pay taxes on it so everybody gets to share in the fruits of your labor .That's just wrong .:(

While rambling on about this ,there are a few small scale mill operaters that will buy smal quantities of saw logs for 10-15 cents a board foot ,Scriber scale I think .The one that figures the least amount . They also buy long firewood stuff by the ton and recut and sell it . These guys are...

Oh ,just as a comparrison .That big red oak stump I'm perched on in the avatar yielded over 3000 bd feet of saw log . All at least number one and some veneer grade .I would have been lucky to have gotten 3-400 out of it .Sadly to say it would have fetched more as firewood had I decided to slice...

It will vary depending on the geographical area and amount . That single tree would not fetch nearly that amount around here .My bet is a hundred or less and that's if you could find a buyer . You will likely do much better if it sells to small crafts type person than a commercial mill . That...

Yep ,during two world wars they planted hemp by the acre in Ohio and Indiana .The residue is still there thus the term "Indiana ditch weed "

Good heavens that stuff must be gold out yonder .Maybe I could export you some .:D

It's cool if you never do anything but make a fire place mantel out of it . I've always maintained that the best use of a tree is lumber for fine furniture,nice trim or at least building material .The end results is firewood or chips .Get the best you can from the wallnut .

Now how in the world could that damned thing get fatter as it got taller .You have a valid point B .I neglected to pay attention to the sweep of the branchs and stand corrected in this matter .oops!
