I'm going to be cutting down a black walnut in about 2 weeks. The tree is only about 24" DBH. The owner said I can do whatever I want with the wood... the nearest mill is almost 2 hrs away, so obviously that's not worth the trouble. I've got a couple of other options though.
Some rich guy who lives about 25 min away from this location wants the log(s) from this tree. I told my contact to inform the rich guy that if he wants to come and get it himself, it's his for the taking... but if I have to deliver it, he's gonna have to pay.
What would you guys say is a fair amount to drop off the logs? There's gonna be maybe 3 or 4 at the most... I'll have a tractor there, but it doesn't have a front end loader, and I don't have a log truck or any kind of boom truck to use either.
As a note, when I say this guy is rich... I'm talking OLD money. Something R?
It's kind of funny... my contact told me that this guy has a LOT of money, but meanwhile rather than go and send people out to do the work for him... he'll do it himself. Apparently he's got a knucklehead of a tree guy who he does business with... my contact would like to get me that job. The knucklehead cuts down trees? and then the rich guy takes the logs, slabs them up himself with his mill(s) and has carpenters build furniture, or whatever it might be for his SUPER wealthy friends.
Any thoughts on the subject(s)?
