Standard Goat Unit! The good ol' SGU, I love it!!😂😂😂

Southside · March 17, 2018, 11:50:55 PM

The futures market has the exchange rate for the SGU trading well above Bitcoin and the Euro.... :D

LeeB · March 18, 2018, 08:54:09 AM

It's a ~~bull~~ goat market for sure. On second thought, maybe it is a bull .... market. :D

WDH · March 18, 2018, 10:53:02 AM

I recently sold a cedar bench for 1.7 SGU's

.

Customer: "I need to get a quote on a 2" thick, 8' long, 39" wide farm table". My reply, "I could not do it for less than 3 SGU's".

If you have ever noticed Google Earth allows you to measure things in "smoots" well we have now officially developed the SGU as a currency measurement!!

Texas Ranger · March 18, 2018, 01:08:53 PM

SGU's can be broken into smaller units, horns and beards. Note, nothing on castration.

A blue rubber band will straighten out the casteration problem on a goat.

Banjo picker · March 18, 2018, 08:17:25 PM

Jeff you are gona need to put the SGU into the knowledge base. We are all getting older, and we will see that later on and won't know what it is. ;) Banjo

Banjo picker · March 18, 2018, 08:20:25 PM

Let me change that to the forestry forum dictionary. Banjo

ellmoe · March 19, 2018, 09:29:28 AM

Read a different post before this one, Danny mentioned moving a slab for one SGU. "What the heck"? ... NOW, I understand. SGU, the beginning of an era. :D

Someone say wide ?

Just curious are you going to make tables with that wood or just glue it all back together and make a BIG Stump?

this is funny, I don't care who you are! :D

barbender · March 20, 2018, 12:10:03 AM

😂😂😂😂It's hard to imagine that long ago in Forum history, we had no goat! Now he is even forming his own currency!😂

The stump..

nativewolf · March 20, 2018, 10:27:03 AM

Tule, nice log. Do you have much competition for that sort of log? I have someone seeking a container of at least 40" and larger walnut crotch logs at least 8' long and 36" min at small end. Not that it takes many logs to make a container at that rate but still. I'm just wondering is there a special market I'm missing out on? We don't get many over 40" but I could set them aside and make a market once or twice a year I guess. The American Black Walnut that we normally cut just doesn't get as big as those CA Claro.

You generally can find these and the end of double rainbows. Single rainbows only have pots of gold. (and are worth less). :D

tule peak timber · March 20, 2018, 11:25:25 AM

There is enough competition that I'm backing away a bit. Advertising about "20,000 $" per slab, log prices escalating, and ANYONE with a chainsaw is now in the slab business.Caveat emptor.....

nativewolf · March 20, 2018, 12:02:15 PM

I have 4 sitting on my log stash pile, well 1 of them is only 6' long but oh so nice. They don't compare to that Claro though.

I hear you on backing away however, if you want to buy mine at only $10k per pop...for a fellow FF member I'll box and send to you. What is that ...333 goat units? what a bargin

PA_Walnut · March 20, 2018, 12:49:17 PM

Everyone with a walnut log, chainsaw and Etsy is now in the slabbing business.

Darrel · March 20, 2018, 03:57:56 PM

I've come to the conclusion that being a member of the WBC doesn't cost a SGU! What a bargain!

tule peak timber · March 20, 2018, 06:13:45 PM

A not so wide slab table we finished today. Mesquite with copper inlay.

Yup - and everybody on Facebook with a portable table saw and a suitcase planer is a custom furniture builder as well. I know - they come here to buy $80 worth of lumber and then offer it for $1,000. say_what
