Him describing the different people involved the market has me wondering. Our timber sale was done through a Forester who owns his own timber business. So he has hands on or in at every step of the way. So now I'm wondering if he was honest with us about the pricing.
Use to be don't know anymore but was first limb off the log would determine some kind of price worked at tree company and had a Amish man came and bought logs for sawmill from the place I worked at he had a guy bring him down to the wood and had a semi truck logging trailer pick it up said made everything from pallets to cutting board 11:24
For Midwest high-quality hardwoods, the vast majority of professional timber buyers utilize rulers and/or scale sticks for scaling and grading standing trees and logs (as seen in this video). Calipers are rarely used. Scaling and grading in other regions of the country, with different wood species, forest types, and markets, may entail the use of different gear, such as diameter tapes and calipers.
Date is May 13th 2022 My family recently sold 181 trees that according to the timber guy has 51,000 board feet. I have a very bitter distant VERY distant relative who is upset we didn't go through him. He claims we're being cheated even though I've never told him the price we're getting. He says they are taking all our high value trees. Walnut, Red Oak, and I know they are taking Beech too. The timber guys we went through do their own milling. Can anyone tell me how much on average 51,000 board feet is worth? I don't know how many of each species they are taking. Also I know for a fact that they aren't taking ALL of our walnut and oak tree. A neighbor we trust walked the woods with the Forester guy and for every walnut they marked they left at least 3. They said we will have more to harvest in 10yrs.
For that many trees especially black walnut being involved I would get more than one bid on the sake and even more than one opinion from a forester. Price varies by region and species as well as quality. I'm a logger in Western New York and beech isn't worth much but black walnut without limbs and knots is worth quite a bit. There is a lot to look at for tree quality that people don't realize and many foresters inflate the numbers for mills to bid on vs what is actually usable timber.
