- Urban trees and wood are often a neglected natural resource. The goal of this video series is to encourage the best uses of our urban-suburban trees. The Virginia Urban Wood Group has been created to promote the improved marketing and utilization of urban and small acreage trees as a viable part of Virginia's economy.
I was just wondering where my lumber ended up! 😢😢😢
If our logger uses the Scribner Rule and calculates approximately 3,800 bf, but the saw mill's finished total is 2,500 bf we've lost a third of our total board feet, right? It seems like that's an awful lot of wasted lumber as most of the UA-cam videos suggest the Scribner is a fairly accurate method to use. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
Wow, I have lots of Ash trees.
But... that’s great and all but how much does a tree like the one you were showing go for? Can you give me a number $
I had a forester came and looked my 100 white oak and few walnut trees. The average tree is about 18 to 20 inch wide with some up to 30. They are very tall, most of them are about 16 to 23 feet straight up to the point where big branches starts going upart. I will keep another +- 100 smaller oaks trees that 17 inch and less. Going back to the Forester, he estimate that average price is about 200 $ per tree where some starts from 80 $ to few at 400 $. He gave me list of mills that can offer me a bid to buy the logs. Branches will stay. Well I find out that the bigest bid was 7 k and rest of them was like, we can cut them and take it for free :) Well my company is doing interior trim and partial custom cabinets so I know the value of the wood. It's turning that I will cut those trees and got schedule for portable mill to cut them for wood tops, beams and boards, branches I will cut for fire wood and sell. Portable mill is charging 880 for 8 hour work with two my men helpers to get wood and stack on earlier prepare platform for 7 months first stage dry process. I do believe that after I invest 5-6 k including bobcat I think that I will make very good profit. 👍
I will make video about that process and how eventually I close this deal.
prices change constantly and there are so many factors it is possible to give a ballpark on a tree or species that will hold over time or even apply to multiple landowners at the same time. Price at the mill includes cost of getting it there and that is hugely variable. What a logger is willing to pay ME is what most people want to know.
I think any of us could say the value depends on lots of factors. Yes, so the video is a waste of time watching hoping for some or any indications of dollar value for a few examples.
