Hell of a white oak from this morningView attachment 381765

Being so big, is that a saw log then?

Most likely. Might manage to get them to buy 9 foot veneer though. Just maybe

$1K/Mbf for popple? Crazy.

yellow poplar, its not the same as what northern guys call popple/aspen.
it actually related to magnolia..........they peel it for veneer.

what? the bigger the better here.........the bigger it is the more flaws they let slide.

Had a small surface knot rite at 10 6 but they will probably look over it. Center was in the center at both ends etc..... and the log that was in the loader grapple in that one picture was white oak as well

Well its been five years since Burvol started this thread. I hope he is alive and well and still killin timber! I learned a lot here and I hope others have as well. I would say that it was this thread that really put me over the edge to go killin timber on my own. It been three years now with my own show and I'm steadily producing more every year. I'm shootin for a million bf this year plus a thousand cords. Thats the goal anyway. I hope everyone is doin well and lovin what they're doin! And if yer not well maybe its time for a change! Happy thanksgiving!

Like 'chainsaw' and 'tree'?

When da sap starts runnin, da loggers go off to peel da popple. Dey get paid more for peeled popple, I guess.
