I have a good stand of veneer grade poplar to cut. I am having a hard time finding a good market for it locally . Does anyone know a good place to sell around tenneesse georgia line, and what kind of price its bringing? Thanks

Too bad your not in PA there is one company paying more for popular than oak. Last I knew popular was like .60ft. I was invited on a tour of that mill about a year ago and I went. There only sawing 900,000 ft per week( and no I didn't put to many zeros). My head was spinning at there planer 40,000 ft per hour.
