Nick....your thread may have helped me get wood to someone who wants it. I Facebooked your info to My son-in-law-to-be, Daniel, the wood crafter with mad skills (like Jay) that I mentioned earlier in this thread. Here is his reply...Daniel is currently in Ft. Bragg, CA...he just finished his second year at the College of the Redwoods in August. He has a friend near me in GA that has a wood mill:
Daniel Earl Zenefski Heck Yeah! I'm all about urban harvesting and having done some tree service work, have seen it go to waste. It's been a long time-side business-dream of mine. All those big old oaks that come down in Georgia during tornado season. You can't buy that stuff anywhere! Not inexpensively anyway.
Daniel Earl Zenefski Forrest Kimpel. You still got that mill?
Forrest Kimpel · Yes i do and i am currently doing similar work. We have been working with a couple tree removal companies and our inventory is growing.

Gary Layton hit me up if you drop some trees and need them removed. 678-???-????
Gary Layton - Forrest...great offer. I will do that...just put your number in my phone. Alex and I are taking down a maple now. What lengths and diameters wood do you prefer? This is over a house so we are rigging a lot of it...will be somewhat restricted on size trunkwood we can lower.
Gary, 9' lengths are perferable. Short ones are fine as well( i turn those into slabs) i am a little limited though, as i dont have a tractor i can take with me (yet). I load the trailer with a come along or wench. where is the tree located?
Gary Layton -- Lithia Springs. Alex has a tractor with forks...he can lift some pretty hefty logs. Ideally we will finish the takedown tomorrow. I'll work to make 9' pieces and set them aside. Maybe we can coordinate next week and work out helping you load the wood. I will keep you posted.
