Spruce Logs

[rfm7fxfox]

                                                        Good evening all, a buddy of mine recently asked me if I knew anyone buying spruce logs. He's looking at a job with roughly 300,000 + bdft of surprisingly high quality spruce ranging from 24" to 36" chest high with minimal taper standing on average of 100ft+ tall. If anyone knows of someone looking for quality spruce let me know and I'll relay the info to him. He already has a market for pulp, just trying to get some sizes and prices for logs.


Thanks
RFM

oops, that 46 is supposed to be 36, Ill havta change that! It was planted during the installation of some kind of underground concrete pipe and forgot about, like I said its surprisingly nice big spruce. Nicest I've ever seen around here! I'll have to see if he can get some pictures of it.

Thanks 47, I'll let him know. I realize a lot of guys cant move their pulp but luckily enough we're not having that problem yet, plus we don't do much pulp at all.. I think it's crazy how the markets are so different in states that are so close to one another.

I send my spruce to Milan lumber. They seem to have good scale and pay. I send my Hemlock to Brome in Canada, they buy spruce also, I think Milan's pays more.

I've sent all my spruce to Milan lumber in NH. Good scaling and fair prices. Really nice wood buyer who works down where I am.

Could call ward clapboard they might have better prices for the highest grade logs.
