Thanks for your video I am pushing myself to move on my mothers rural untouched 10 acres in southern georgia this helps out on how I approach the project.
One of the few comments I'll ever leave on UA-cam, but just wanted to say that this video was the exact thing I was looking for when I purchased my land. A great general overview of what can be done, and thanks to this, my land essentially paid for itself in the value of the timber on it.
My grandparents had a company come take down quite a few huge walnut frees from their property in Kansas. They ended up getting over $10,000 for them. And they didn’t have to lift a finger.
Good Morning Kevin and that's great for your Grandparents. Trees that can be used for Funiture and cabinets usually have good value. Happy Holidays to all of you and Thanks for Watching.
Now they'll be paying taxes on the ground while waiting 100 years for those trees to be replaced. Short term gain for long term pain. A single mature walnut could easily bring $10K. If your grandparents didn't get advice from an independent appraiser and only worked with a lumber company they almost certainly got hosed.
thank you for taking your time to educate so many before they would've made a major mistake. I have 5 acres around a lake in South Carolina. im getting a consultant and having my land surveyed this week thanks to you. awesome information.
My mom showed me this video I'm currently in the process of trying to Survey the land that we own there are 69 acres . We've had a few lumber companies offer to cut down trees on the property but currently we do not know what trees we have and I'm working on trying to get someone to identify what we have so we can negotiate a fair price.
Hello , It sounds like you are on the right path knowing each type of tree will help in getting the best price for you . Harwood Trees , Maple Cheery ,Walnut , all are used for finish material and can bring a better price than other trees like pine oak or hickory . Good Luck with your property and Thanks for Watching
I had a black walnut on my property but it was so old and the ants had hollowed it out in the center so no one wanted it. Sad cut it down and saw the inside beauty of it all used for firewood. It was over 100 years old, and 9-1/2’ in circumference at the base.
Hello, it's tough when these old trees are hollow and have to be removed. We had a 5-foot silver maple that was the same way, you hate to see them go. Thanks for Watching
Good information. On our farm we don't waste anything. Just happen to have a good friend, 1/2 mile away that has a sawmill. Always building something. Great video buddy 🤝
Thank you , sometimes it's easy to get in a hurry when your clearing ground but that can also get expensive if your not thinking about the value at hand . Thank you Tracy I hope your having a good day and Thanks for watching .
As one of the furniture makers that was brought up, I do have to somewhat roll my eyes at the value estimations on some of your trees. first off, I would rather have a tall skinny white oak, then a short fat white oak with a big canopy. There’s this weird trend, and I blend social media, where people think ugly trees are more valuable. They just aren’t. Yes, maybe, and I mean a big maybe, one of those trees might be worth $15,000, but that’s after I cut it down, mill it. Surface it, and then designed, build, and find a $15,000 customer. The fact of the matter is, they’re just aren’t that many $15,000 customers out there. So the value estimation is just way off, Sky High ridiculous. You might get two dollars or if it’s a really nice tree four dollars a foot. And you’ll get much less than that at the mill.
Thank God I'm not the only one...I posted above saying the same thing. Everybody is an expert. We've sold and bought literally millions of feet of walnut logs since the 60s....we have paid some big money for a few trees through the years but they were like 30 point bucks that everyone has seen buy never shot.
I admire your efforts and not sure what part of the country your in but in east Texas it's extremely difficult to market a variety of trees like that. The sawmills are very difficult to deal with on an individual basis and limit quantities and times that they will even take trees. Timber companies usually have no interest in harvesting small tracts of land (less than 50 acres) and especially if the timber is not sizeable and good quality. And for either to take the time to talk about specifics on how you want things done is very rare. Most are of the mindset that time is money and their mission is to get in and out as quick as possible. The remaining mess will be yours to clean up. I envy you guys being able to take the approach you speak of. Your place is beautiful and the video is very good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I have purchased a portable sawmill and started making lumber for myself most of which I have used for build projects but have also sold select material to cover the cost of the mill and only cut the trees I choose. I should have had this mill when we started clearing the land LoL. Thanks for your comment and Thanks for Watching
He's higher than willy Nelson on his tree appraisals...he should bring his checkbook and I will sell him all the walnut logs he needs to make tge big bucks.
Good Morning and Thank You. We have done a lot of work to this place and we have plenty of trees to talk about. Have a Blessed Day, Thanks for Watching.
I am closing on a 20 acre property that has tons of spruce and cedars . I haven't even had time to assess the timber value , but some great ideas here. thanks. I love black walnuts for food and medicine. Restaurants will pay top dollar for the nuts also , and the black juice from the husk is not only powerful medicine but it's a great weed killer . It has a lot of ancient witch lore . Oh and it's my all out favorite wood stain, just add water, no toxic chemicals.
Hello and Thank You . I recently purchased a chainsaw mill and have enjoyed the process . You are right cedar planks are costly and now I can make them myself when needed . Thanks for Watching
How can I find out about the auctions you mentioned in regards to walnut. I have a number of nice walnut on my property that are ready to be harvested. I own a mobile sawmill and was also wondering if it would be more profitable to market them in slabs or the auction you mentioned. Thank you
What part of the country are you in with all these diverse species on just 20 acres? Is this variety typical in many parts of the US or only certain ones? Great value from your video. Thanks
Hello , I am in Missouri and most parts of the US has this Diversity . We are fortunate here on our property to have a few really nice and Old Harwood's like the Walnut , Oak and Cedar that I pointed out in the Video .Thank You for Your Comment , Thanks for Watching
These young kids in the ads trying to sell their financial methods crack me up...even if they had some success, doubtful...but even if they had I can't take bussiness advice from someone who's only been on earth 15-20 years. The internet will not replace real world knowledge you gain with time and mistakes and actually physically doing it.
Good Evening , Sometimes experience can save a lot and Working Hard has been the only gift in life that has been natural to me and I have enjoyed most of it LOL . Thanks for Watching
I like the video it got me to thinking...and now I'm driving off the dirt roads in the golf cart driving on my family's property because im looking up in the trees to see what we have looks like mosquet mosquest mosquest some pretty large and juniper but blue berry juniper only grows around here its a lovely tree but the ranchers and farms don't feel the same as I do. One cotton wood and 5 or 6 large oaks I figured we would have more variety but that's all I've noticed
I know it’s not much but I have 12 acres that is about 2/3 mountainous. I’m trying to find ideas to utilize that land. The other 1/3 is flat with a nice stream. Don’t know what to do with mountains. Ideas?
@BluNinjaPig, my relatives had maples on their mountain. They tapped and piped downhill to a storage tank. Alot of work but tasty wood fired maple syrup! That or just plant species that thrive in your area that time would allow benefit from.
Very happy to have come across this video!! I have a 10 acre property with beautiful oaks and walnut cedar and a old house that sadly tenants left filthy as well as threw trash everywhere So I know I can cleanup and have a young couple that are interested but… surprisingly..don’t want to hassle with the house?! I will keep following this!! Thank you!
Hello and Thank You . Sometimes the clean up is the hardest part of the project but it sounds like you have it under control . Good Luck and Thanks for Watching
I am looking at a property that is rural and maybe 6 hours north of Toronto in Ontario. There are smaller towns along the way obviously but would it be worth it buying land so far away if it's a couple hours from a potential buyer interested in the wood?
Hello and Welcome to Our Channel . I think property is a good investment and with Timber those Guys wont mind to travel a bit to get there . Good Luck with Your Property and Thanks for Watching
There is .96 of an acre with and abandoned trailer beside my parents home that has grown up over about 10 years. I'm in the process of contacting the owner to see if they would take a cash offer for it. Id like to build a home later on after I've had it cleared and cleaned. Great video because I could possibly make some extra money with the hug trees that have grown up. Wish me luck! First time inquiring about some land. I'm nervous but I could possibly miss out on a potential deal if I don't inquire about it. Hoping they consider my offer. Thanks so much for the info. If I get the land and have it cleared, I'll know exactly what to do next. (Thinking ahead) lol.
Hello and Good Luck it sounds like you have a good plan going forward . Clearing and cleaning the ground is hard work but you can see your effort's pretty quickly . I hope it works out for you and Thanks for Watching
A word of caution, the 10 year growth trees will most likely not be of marketable size. Also the trees that have been there when the place was occupied very likely will have metal(such as nails) in them. This will show just as soon as the tree is cut and most mills will not risk their equipment trying to salvage the log. So be careful.
Good Morning David and Welcome . If you have the time to pick and sell the large high valued tree's while the tree is standing the purchaser may have their own method of removal . You can remove the tree's with heavy equipment as long as your careful not to slit or scar the wood . Good Luck with your project and Thanks for Watching
Thanks for putting up this information. I knew walnut could be pricey but didn't know it could be that pricey! I have a woodlot in Maine that I'm planning to go see this summer. Very excited to see what trees are there.
Man I’m trying to buy 5 acres of wooded property, pines, hard woods (oaks). And some sweet gums. Just about want it all Cleared out. Think it can pay for a lot with those types of trees?
Good morning. It sounds like you have a fair amount of work ahead of you. The trees definitely have value and thinking ahead as to what to do with them is a plus. I purchased the Woodland Mills HM 126 Bandsaw last month for less than 5k and I wish I had this when we cleared our property. Every tree I removed could have been cut into building material to use or sale. This may be an option for you and planning ahead of time you are on the right track. Good luck with your project. Thanks for Watching.
As a hunter I spend a ton of time and effort to turn your end result property into what you first showed us. Animals can’t use browse that is above their heads.
You did a very good job on this video and gave me a very good idea on how to approach my hope project I'm trying to do. I would really like to talk to you personally
Good Morning Josh and Thank You . This is the email address for the channel askdaddyjoeonvideo@gmail.com and I will try to help anyway I can . Thanks for Watching
Just found your video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. My moms property is in the forest, we have extremely large and healthy walnut, cedar, pine and oaks. I've sold 1 x 48ft, 3x15ft oak for $200, two yrs back. Yes I know very low price. But I hadn't sold before, posted online for sale. Thankfully it went to a dear friends son, who had responded to our ad. Built his own saw mill, wants to do more. Plus he is a very fine craftsman. So I feel good about the price. :) But now we are going to be clearing some and I think that a mill would benefit. Thank you again for this information.
Hello and You are welcome . Clearing ground can be a lot of work but it is nice to look back at your progress . I have recently started using a chainsaw mill here to salvage trees that I thought to be only firewood , turns out I have made some really nice 2x12 's and also 2x4's from these dead oaks ,video's posted if you need them . If you have a lot of tree's you are thinking of milling a bandsaw mill will be faster and more efficient than the chainsaw mill . Good Luck with your project and Thanks for Watching
Hello, small plots of land are not of interest to the commercial loggers, but you may have someone in your area that has a portable sawmill or use for the trees that may work out for the two of you. Good luck with your project and Thanks for Watching
Good morning and You are Welcome. Clearing and preparing wooded acreage can be a lot of work but it is worth the effort. Good luck with your project and Thanks for Watching.
I was actually looking into buying some land to set up a short-term rental pretty soon. Most of the properties are looking at are wooded And need a bit of clearing out. I was planning to cut them down and process them for sale. Thanks for the tips on helping to find the value of the trees. The first thing I do after I buy the property will definitely be to have somebody take a look at the trees so I can get an estimated value of them.
I have 20 acres of bay bushes and a lot of vines and different trees here and there and a lot of pine trees maybe one every 6-10 ft just guessing. It’s connected to my house and pond and I would love to have all the underbrush gone. What’s the least expensive way to go about this project
Hello, you can do a lot of clearing with a small chainsaw and a good pair of compound loppers to remove the brush and a push mower will help to. The brush will plie up quickly so have a plan to deal with the material and you are set to start clearing. Removing underbrush has benefits for you and your larger trees so it is worth the effort. Good luck with your project and Thanks for Watching
I know this video is two yrs ago but it is very informative and gave me ideas. I'm a newly Real Estate investor and I always look for ways to get paid. Thank your very much for your knowledge and time sir. Stay Blessed
Great video and just what I was looking for. Question where do you start to search for someone that can survey your trees and see if they want them or what they are worth? what profession would that be?. thank you.
Thank you, a great starting point for you will be your local sawmills they can offer information that will be helpful and may have logged property near you. You can also contact a professional Forester who can help with every aspect of your wooded property and grade and value the timber, also check your State Conservation Site they have a lot of information on a state level that can help you. If you only need a few trees removed, then find a neighbor that has a portable sawmill. I hope this will get you started and Thanks for Watching
Hello, in my area the walnut market has been stable over the past 15 years, and I haven't heard of or seen any actions taking place but if you are dealing with walnut trees start with a forester in your area to get a feel for the market, they could point you in the right direction. I hope this helps and Thanks for Watching.
Hello , We have 20 acres here and it has taken a while to get everything you see in the video the way we we like it and now that most of the work is done We really enjoy our time here . Thanks for the Comment and Thanks for watching
Good Morning Mike and Thank You. We have spent some effort and time getting things the way we want them here and still have projects being completed but There's no place like Home 😊. Thanks for Watching.
Good Morning , Yes if I use the cedar for fence post I will char the section I intend to put in the ground with fire . This helps the post last years longer . The bridge material can be charred or sealed but I let the bridge set for a year or so before treating this allows the sap to drain from the wood . Thanks for Watching
Hello and You Are Welcome . With the price of Lumber and Building Material it is a Sellers market . I hope this video was helpful and Thanks for Watching .
Hello and Welcome , From My point of view I have removed the Tree's and cleared the brush as to what I needed for Our Property Here . I am selective as to which tree's to remove both for privacy and for the scenery that we enjoy . Thanks for Watching
@@AskDaddyjoe thanks for the reply. Nah I dont care that you remove the trees. I am just surprised that so much farmland in the US is not completely cleared. Im a property developer so trust me Im not having a go at you for tree clearing!
@@icmull Good Morning , No Problem I did not take it that way no offense here , In the 1800's here in Missouri approximately 2/3 of all the trees had been harvested for Milling and Farming . Now due to crop management and better Farming Practice's they have what they need . Thanks for Your Comment .

Hello and Thank You for the Complement and I am glad it was helpful . Good luck with your land and Thanks for Watching
how much did you get if you dont mind? For how much land?
Same here! Very useful knowledge
Did you use a logging company and they paid you to take the trees?
My grandparents had a company come take down quite a few huge walnut frees from their property in Kansas. They ended up getting over $10,000 for them. And they didn’t have to lift a finger.
Good Morning Kevin and that's great for your Grandparents. Trees that can be used for Funiture and cabinets usually have good value. Happy Holidays to all of you and Thanks for Watching.
Now they'll be paying taxes on the ground while waiting 100 years for those trees to be replaced. Short term gain for long term pain. A single mature walnut could easily bring $10K. If your grandparents didn't get advice from an independent appraiser and only worked with a lumber company they almost certainly got hosed.
I don’t care about making money. I just want a company to clear 10 of my acres for free. They can have all the wood they cut.
thank you for taking your time to educate so many before they would've made a major mistake. I have 5 acres around a lake in South Carolina. im getting a consultant and having my land surveyed this week thanks to you. awesome information.

I had a black walnut on my property but it was so old and the ants had hollowed it out in the center so no one wanted it. Sad cut it down and saw the inside beauty of it all used for firewood. It was over 100 years old, and 9-1/2’ in circumference at the base.

As one of the furniture makers that was brought up, I do have to somewhat roll my eyes at the value estimations on some of your trees. first off, I would rather have a tall skinny white oak, then a short fat white oak with a big canopy. There’s this weird trend, and I blend social media, where people think ugly trees are more valuable. They just aren’t.
Yes, maybe, and I mean a big maybe, one of those trees might be worth $15,000, but that’s after I cut it down, mill it. Surface it, and then designed, build, and find a $15,000 customer.

thanks for the video..... i could listen to you talk all day........you seem be very knowledgable.......blessings sir!
Thank You and Happy New Year and Thanks for Watching.
You mean: sawmills will come cut just the one tree? Like if I had a 50yo walnut, for example.. it is worth it to them to just come for one tree?
This was a very informative video. I didn't even think about something like this when considering buying and clearing property. Excellent job.
Man I’m trying to buy 5 acres of wooded property, pines, hard woods (oaks). And some sweet gums. Just about want it all
Cleared out. Think it can pay for a lot with those types of trees?
Good morning. It sounds like you have a fair amount of work ahead of you. The trees definitely have value and thinking ahead as to what to do with them is a plus. I purchased the Woodland Mills HM 126 Bandsaw last month for less than 5k and I wish I had this when we cleared our property. Every tree I removed could have been cut into building material to use or sale. This may be an option for you and planning ahead of time you are on the right track. Good luck with your project.
Thanks for Watching.
Hi, I also have a wooded land that I would like to have it cleaned. Generally, do we need to get a permit to clean or sell trees of our property?
That Walnut woulda been going to the highest bidder if it were mine.
It has crossed my mind LoL😁😁.
Thanks for Watching
As a hunter I spend a ton of time and effort to turn your end result property into what you first showed us. Animals can’t use browse that is above their heads.
You did a very good job on this video and gave me a very good idea on how to approach my hope project I'm trying to do. I would really like to talk to you personally
Good Morning Josh and Thank You . This is the email address for the channel askdaddyjoeonvideo@gmail.com and I will try to help anyway I can . Thanks for Watching
Yeah maple and walnut are used to make acoustic instruments I think.
Great info.
How can I get funding to clear 20 acres of forest land?
Didn’t know Kris Kristofferson was into this line of work.
Hello, that's too funny and Thanks for Watching
Thanks for the knowlege, youtube daddy
I'm going to own a couple n a half acres soon
Congratulations owning property is very satisfying. Good luck with your project and
Thanks for Watching.
Just found your video.
Thank you for taking the time to do this.
My moms property is in the forest, we have extremely large and healthy walnut, cedar, pine and oaks. I've sold 1 x 48ft, 3x15ft oak for $200, two yrs back. Yes I know very low price. But I hadn't sold before, posted online for sale. Thankfully it went to a dear friends son, who had responded to our ad. Built his own saw mill, wants to do more. Plus he is a very fine craftsman. So I feel good about the price. :)
But now we are going to be clearing some and I think that a mill would benefit.
Thank you again for this information.
Hello and You are welcome . Clearing ground can be a lot of work but it is nice to look back at your progress . I have recently started using a chainsaw mill here to salvage trees that I thought to be only firewood , turns out I have made some really nice 2x12 's and also 2x4's from these dead oaks ,video's posted if you need them . If you have a lot of tree's you are thinking of milling a bandsaw mill will be faster and more efficient than the chainsaw mill . Good Luck with your project and Thanks for Watching
Is it worth doing this for a half an acre?
Hello, small plots of land are not of interest to the commercial loggers, but you may have someone in your area that has a portable sawmill or use for the trees that may work out for the two of you.
Good luck with your project and
Thanks for Watching
Very helpful thank you for making this video!!
Good morning and You are Welcome. Clearing and preparing wooded acreage can be a lot of work but it is worth the effort. Good luck with your project and Thanks for Watching.
I was actually looking into buying some land to set up a short-term rental pretty soon. Most of the properties are looking at are wooded And need a bit of clearing out. I was planning to cut them down and process them for sale. Thanks for the tips on helping to find the value of the trees. The first thing I do after I buy the property will definitely be to have somebody take a look at the trees so I can get an estimated value of them.
I'm glad the video helped and wish you the best on your project. Thanks for Watching
I have 20 acres of bay bushes and a lot of vines and different trees here and there and a lot of pine trees maybe one every 6-10 ft just guessing. It’s connected to my house and pond and I would love to have all the underbrush gone. What’s the least expensive way to go about this project
Hello, you can do a lot of clearing with a small chainsaw and a good pair of compound loppers to remove the brush and a push mower will help to. The brush will plie up quickly so have a plan to deal with the material and you are set to start clearing. Removing underbrush has benefits for you and your larger trees so it is worth the effort. Good luck with your project and

Hello, I hope the video helps. Good luck with your project or investment, and Thanks for Watching
Why thank u for that information 🙂
You are welcome and Thanks for Watching
Great video and just what I was looking for. Question where do you start to search for someone that can survey your trees and see if they want them or what they are worth? what profession would that be?. thank you.
Thank you, a great starting point for you will be your local sawmills they can offer information that will be helpful and may have logged property near you. You can also contact a professional Forester who can help with every aspect of your wooded property and grade and value the timber, also check your State Conservation Site they have a lot of information on a state level that can help you. If you only need a few trees removed, then find a neighbor that has a portable sawmill. I hope this will get you started and Thanks for Watching
Where are these auctions?
Hello, in my area the walnut market has been stable over the past 15 years, and I haven't heard of or seen any actions taking place but if you are dealing with walnut trees start with a forester in your area to get a feel for the market, they could point you in the right direction. I hope this helps and Thanks for Watching.
Thank you. Very informative for me.

thanks nice land
Good Morning Mike and Thank You. We have spent some effort and time getting things the way we want them here and still have projects being completed but There's no place like Home 😊. Thanks for Watching.
Good advice!
Thanks!
The big o walnut tree has been there for a few years .
Great video. Thanks. Do you have to treat the wood before using it as fence posts or a bridge?
Good Morning , Yes if I use the cedar for fence post I will char the section I intend to put in the ground with fire . This helps the post last years longer . The bridge material can be charred or sealed but I let the bridge set for a year or so before treating this allows the sap to drain from the wood . Thanks for Watching
Thank u daddy Joe

Why is there so much uncleared land in the US?
Hello and Welcome , From My point of view I have removed the Tree's and cleared the brush as to what I needed for Our Property Here . I am selective as to which tree's to remove both for privacy and for the scenery that we enjoy . Thanks for Watching
@@AskDaddyjoe thanks for the reply. Nah I dont care that you remove the trees.
I am just surprised that so much farmland in the US is not completely cleared.
Im a property developer so trust me Im not having a go at you for tree clearing!
@@icmull Good Morning , No Problem I did not take it that way no offense here , In the 1800's here in Missouri approximately 2/3 of all the trees had been harvested for Milling and Farming . Now due to crop management and better Farming Practice's they have what they need . Thanks for Your Comment .
Your voice is so calming its enjoyable to learn from your videos. Thank you. I never thought about selling the trees to a sawmill.
Thank you, having wooded acreage can be beneficial and I hope your project goes well.
Have a great day and Thanks for Watching
