It's nice knowing someone else who knows their stuff.

Spalted Maple goes for as much as $20/ board foot and higher.

Two years ago I sold 150 board feet to a cabinet builder and fetched a good penny and he was happy as ever to have only paid $800.00

Last year I felled two Sugar Maples and they have been exposed to the elements ever since, doing their magic. I hope to mill them next year.

With the way I keep picture files, finding a few out of the thousands on file can be maddening, you're not alone.

Thank goodness we don't have any problem with insects destroying the conifers in our region.
Woodpecker holes in dead pines we have plenty of them.

I do love my trees.
