I have some fairly large oak timber on my property and a lot of it is in the way of where I want to put my shop. Others are just too close to the house and need to come down. I have talked to a few loggers but I don't have the quantity they need to bring in their equipment and I really don't want the whole place clear cut. I also have about 5 acres of set pines that are about 25-26 years old that is past needing thinned but again it's not worth their time.
Anywho, all of them obviously are more interested in the hardwood vs the pines anyway. I got to thinking if I could find a buyer(s) for the hardwood then I would find someone with a sawmill to make it into lumber. I would like to keep it for myself but I don't have the place to store it and I need it to fund the building.
My question is, does anyone here have any interest in lumber while it's still on the stump? I don't know exactly what all kinds of oaks they are, but according to the leaves there is probably at least 3 different kinds out there. Some of the trees are in the 24" diameter range, some are smaller.
Thanks for your input, and any suggestions you may have.
