Anyone else watch it last night on Discovery.
The thread about oak pricing on e-bay prompted me to post this, for those that did not see it the programme was about a small firm of loggers in Tenasee who used mules to extract the butts.
They were selectively felling trees destined for conversion to veneer or furniture grade timber, typical prices they were being paid buy the mill were
Walnut $1.00 per bd/ft thats $12 cu ft
White oak $0.65 bd/ft
Red oak $0.50 db/ft
Also worth watching to see the lorry that loads the logs by literally swinging them over the operators head :roll: Ussually repeated during the week. Its episode 2 BTW. Heli logging next weeek
