These guys are right. The drying time I for me is 3 years. I have built a shed of racks in my yard to dry lumber in and use only from the racks that have dried for the required time. The humidity here is high most of the year. The removal cost for a few logs is considerable and Proroskywood has hit right on that point. Unless you can trailer the logs to a small mill or know a friend who can it will be expensive. I would offer 80.00 to 100.00 bucks to start and explain the expenses involved. Sawing is usually starts at about $40.00 and goes up rapidly depending on quantity and quality of the logs. I have people give me logs just to get them moved. I got 3 Walnut logs last year from a pulp wooding operation. I would recommend making a real effort to get the logs, just don’t over spend. Dried and planed Cherry is selling for around eight dollars a foot here. I have racked several truck loads with cost around 2 to 3 dollars a foot after factoring in losses and cost and I get it quarter cuts I want. If you do this tell the miller that you want the waist. Much of the wedges and slabs from squaring the log can be used with good results. -- Terry Roswell, L.A. (Lower Alabama) "Life is what happens to you when you are making other plans." |
