Whatcha Sawin' 2024 ??

[Wlmedley]

Pretty well have gotten all the logs I had scattered around my place sawn up and stacked except this walnut. I saved it for last and need to decide how to cut it.May cut crotch off and saw it separately.Log is 25" in forestryforum.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=353561][/url]

I have a chance to bid on a Cypress log about 15 foot long and about 34 inches in diameter.
What's a good bid price to offer?  If I get it, what should I cut it into?

Think you will need the answer to the "cut it into" question first. 

Price would be up to your wallet and feeling good about it. But a $10 bid sounds good to me.

Tim,

   Is it delivered or do you have to pick up the cypress log? Do you have any customers wanting cypress? 

    If not I would bid low and be happy if I got it but not worry if I didn't.

Howard,
I have to go get it.  The folks cutting it down or digging it up would load it.  No customers, but I am sure someone in H town would want something.

Tim,

  Looks like about 800 bf estimate for yield. I'd offer him $100 if I had to pick it up. If he agrees and you sell it you've done good if you can't sell it you haven't lost much. If he says no you haven't lost anything.

Thanks Howard!  I will do that.

Is it a yard tree, near a house?
