In the years of sawing, and seeing my dad do the same thing it was allways a problem getting rid of the low grade. I have seen far to much lumber rot throught the years >:( Now there are so many places that want low grade, grade is never a problem to sell!

Arkansawyer is right on the money. You should base your projected earnings off of what its going to cost you BF wise to mill up low grade. .30 bf is about right when you combine all your operating costs. That's what I come up with on my operation.

Hey Mick:

Sorry to be so late to the dance here but I'd love to talk to your personally about what I feel to be the TK advantages.

I do think whether you choose TK or WM you'll have a good mill. As the President of TimberKing I of course think if you choose TK you will have a better mill!

One of our real advantages is right here in front of you: we're big enough that we're a true mill manufacturer. But we're small enough that you'll get an email from the President and, in the unlikely event you do have an issue, you can pick up the phone and give me a call. That's a combination I truly believe no other company offers.

But -- I better stop myself. Don't want to get Bibbyman or Arkansawyer hot under the collar!

But please do feel free to give me a call at 1-800-942-4406 and I'd be glad to discuss your sawmill needs with you personally.

Best,

Will Johnson, President
TimberKing

Hey, don't drag me into this...

I need to be out sawing but Mary and the girls went off on one last adventure before school starts on Monday and left me home alone. :

Well I must say it is nice to see the president of tk here! ARKANSAWYER, redbeard, yes I do base everything off the good grade lumber, I just seem to worry about using every piece of lumber I cut that is why i am excited about all the pallet shops wanting lumber and cants they also are paying $0.40 to $0.47 bdft. Its not to bad and its alot better then letting it rot!
