I love the people who have done "research" on the value of walnut logs and lumber and then want more for the logs than the eventual lumber that might come out of the logs would be worth.
Bill, it's the new math combined with wishful thinking. Get with the program buddy!

OK, maybe I'm the woodcutter now.
I work with wood, There is a rumor I might be a woodworker.

I have been in milling situations where I would have paid the customer to use their tractor.  :D ;D

One of my coffee buddies does tractor work but I'm not really sure his tractor is up to the task. His rates are reasonable enough. Better than I would charge.
