Question about 16' oak or maple logs for pipeline timber matts

[concretecutter]

Looking into possibly milling and assembling some pipeline matts was wondering what a truck load of 16' long 10" thick oak or maple low grade straight saw logs would go for on the landing ball park figure the timbers I would be cutting would be 8x8x16

oh so your be making short crane matts. small saw logs were paying 375 per thousand for me. gone down a little as local yards have been full here.

I know I was given a price of 1100 a matt to buy them new
