Yes, there are several different categories of law and species. Then there is soft wood and hardwood. And a whole other level of categories such as Chipwood or as we call it, pulpwood. It is grown into wood chips and use paper products. Red Oak is actually really rich red color in the wood green when it is cut. After it sits out a little while it will turn that cream color on the end. But whenever you saw into the log, it will still be red… Anyway, thank you for taking time to watch and comment!

Yes, sir, Hickory is a very common tree here in Tennessee. Have you ever heard the term “Tennessee Hickory?“ However, there is not much market nowadays for Hickory lumber. Every now and then we will get a market for “Hickory handle.“ But most of the time it is just made into crossties. We have a ton of Hickory trees here and particularly on this job. But they are just not worth a whole lot nowadays. Take for example… If you go to Lowe’s, most of the axes and hammers there will have a plastic handle instead of wood. It has gotten hard to even get a good wood handled hammer anymore. You know what I mean? Although I agree with you, it does make very good handles. Anyway, thank you very much for being here as always. And taking time to watch and comment! I appreciate your dedication to my channel. Take care and do come again, please! God bless.

Yes, sir, I agree with you. And yes, you are right… A person can really mess up depending on how he cuts his timber into logs. Anyway, thank you so much for always being here and taking time to watch and comment. It is good to hear from you! Take care my friend and do come again please! God bless.

That is very cool! And I’m glad the login cart plans worked out for you. It is a good set of plans… Thank you so much for being here and also taking time to watch and comment. I truly appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please. God bless

Well, for starters…… A person would have to scale that standing tree to know exactly how much board footage is in that tree. If I remember that, I believe that tree was 19 inches at breast high. And it would make five or six logs the first two or three logs would be prime and prime plus grade guessing. The last few logs would be cross tie material. With that being said…the butt cut would be about 169 bd-ft at $2.325 per foot ($393.92). Second and third cut would be 218 bd-ft at $2.175 per foot ($474.15). Then the last three would be tie logs at 204 bd-ft at $0.55 per foot ($112.20). So…total value of the tree would be about $980.27 or maybe a little less. If the butt cuts veneered, it would be a good bit more. But like I said in the video, it’s hard to get veneer. The buyers are pretty hard on the veneer grade stuff. Anyway, so the tree would be worth $980.27 roughly total. The land owner would keep $392.11 and I would get $588.16. Be nice to have several of those types of trees. They’re rare tho..anyway, hope this answers your question. Thanks for asking! And thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please

@zachodommulelogging just curious, here in SC, almost no independent loggers, basically company buys the timber, and pays logging crew to haul it. The buyers are always taking advantage of people. Plus they only want large tracts. They would try to convince land owners that tree was worth less than $100.00 you would be excited to cut on my place, my biggest white oak, you wouldn't be able to move the but cut, way over 3 feet in diameter. Several over 2.5 feet. Have several beech which are rare in this area. Also sweet gum, tupelo, and red maple.

I'm a horse logger here in Canada. Price totally depends on local mills. When I cruise a bush I'm looking at all the topics presented here, species, heights, diameters, defects, terrain, plus what is the market like at the time. On small jobs I measure the dbh and estimate the height of each tree and I have a chart that estimates the board feet in that tree, on big jobs I count and measure representative samples then multiply accordingly. I work out a price per board foot for the whole job, based on all the above, and make an offer. They either accept it or reject it. Trees don't come with SKU numbers or price stickers in the wild... at least not around here.

@@Thoreau-e4lsome companies do well buying timber on the stump. And some don’t. It just depends on the area and the markets as to what timber is worth. Here where I am, hardwood does pretty well. Down further south in Georgia and Alabama, it’s basically pulp wood country. And pulpwood doesn’t pay worth a crap. It’s not even worth my time really. I don’t buy timber on the stump, because there are way to many variables. And if you did buy it on the stump, you’d have to be mighty conservative to cover your hind end! There’s too many things you can’t see such as hollow trees. Doing it on percentage, the more money I make, the more money the landowner makes. So it’s a win win!! He gets 40% of every single load that comes off the place. No matter what the grade or species. Anyway, thanks again for watching.

@@gentlegiants1974I agree 😊

The motivation to myself to look at ways to obtain supplies of lumber, that I know I can work on with my basic carpentry skills and tools, is I like to have sufficient quantities of it staged in advance. The odd time I get to wanting to set up and do a concrete poured construction project of some kind. And apart from concrete itself just being one of those materials that is nasty and labour intensive to deal with, what can really hurt you cost wise on those (small even) concrete poured projects, is your formwork construction. To use the expression 'the big dog', the big dog in concrete is going to have all of the system made formwork systems, the mechanoo sets to use. It's possible to create some really fine projects using concrete, no doubt. But if there's one thing that can help the little guy with concrete, it's having lumber that can be treated as single-use almost, . . . and from that point it's mainly a carpentry skill and determination that is the constraint in what one can do. Whenever I have had a supply of real grade lumber available, the thought of using it for formwork has been too hard a pill to swallow. And the other thing about formwork timber, is I'm not too concerned about kiln drying. I can 'mix and match' species, grades of lumber. The knotty stuff can come in just as handy. And as long as one can stage enough of it, and organize one's pours well enough, one can reduce 'costs of such projects' a lot, and end up with some durable, useful end results. For all kinds of aspects of construction, manholes, to fenses, foundations, slabs, walls, doorways or even outdoor garden spaces and furniture. The big concrete contractors 'need' to re-use their formwork. But the little guy on the little concrete poured project, is never going to 'buy in' to a formwork system. And his or her needs in terms of design might be too particular, too 'once off'. Does any small scale contractor want to waste plywood on formwork now, if they can help it? I've heard horror stories on it, from the concrete guys. Almost to a point now, where I think some would go back to rough sawn lumber for concrete pours if they had a choice. It's not that much more awkward to use rough sawn lumber in a lot of cases. It's just that we had plywood for ever, and we programmed ourselves to do everything with it. I've definitely snapped out of that, especially when I discovered things like Poplar for it's light weight, where you didn't need huge strength, and you can strengthen it up with some oak or similar. If I have enough seasoned Poplar now I can use it instead of plywood, and just get by with fatter sized boards than half or three quarter inch ply.

One tool I had to become more familiar with though was the larger scaled hand planes (and as a consequence of that I learned 'how far' back into the antiquity that these different, task- specific hand plane tools go). Thousands of years of human civilization is my understanding that human beings have been planing timber by hand tools. And of course, then it sort of dawned on me. Those Roman engineers and builders had figured out concrete and how to work with it, in ways that modern engineers haven't understood just until lately. We lost a lot of that buuilding knowledge it seems post the Roman empire. All that we do have left now of that construction system of the Romans are some projects. But I do know they weren't dumb when it came to resource utilization. That last thing one wants for formwork timber is a timber that's hard to saw and work with. Which is why some builders literally use 'sytrofoam' as formwork for concrete. For engineering projects I'm pretty certain Romans did not transport heavy timber over hundreds of miles. And you wanted the material to be lightweight for workers to lift on the job. Then, when one is finished a timber like Poplar can be left out in the weather to disintegrate, and all you're left with is a small residual of hard concrete spatter that settles into the ground and disappears. No one nowadays is looking 'beyond' expensive plywoods for formwork systems, but maybe we ought to be. My hunch is that, Romans didn't have plywood either. Yet there construction is still around.

That is pretty interesting to hear! I’m always intrigued by how others do it in other countries. And what materials work best for sales situations. We have quite a bit of prime and prime plus grade timber here although near is a little more scarce. It has to be absolutely perfect with low mineral deposit and it also. So that makes a big deal as well. Anyway, thank you so much for taking time to share your experience with me and also taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it!

Thank you so much for the kind words and I do agree. Also that Sarabeth 💜 did a fine job helping me. I really appreciate her and she is a lot of fun to have with me. As far as Pine is concerned… We do not have a market here for it. And there is not a whole lot of pine around here. If we do cut any… We have to haul it down into Georgia in Alabama to sell it. Which is too far for what it pays. It does not pay as good as hardwood does. And no, pine will not make cross ties. They only want hardwood. I suppose it will last longer. As far as the tops are concerned, I leave them laying in place most of the time. However, I do get them out of the roads and keep the roads open for the land owners… I have found that you will cause less damage. If you would just leave the tops where they lay. Because if you try to clean them up where they machine most of the time you would do more damage to other young timber rather than just leaving them in place. Does that make sense? Thank you for the questions and I hope I have answered. Also, thank you for taking time to always watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care of my friend and do come again, please. God bless.

The other thing is my speculation that these mules get from the donkey inheritance is that stuff with their ears, of constantly folding their ears back and listening to the human being. I can't be certain, but I don't think that horses have that quite so much in their nature (bit control and, or leg and spur control from saddle jockeys being more what matters to horses than human vocalization). Donkeys are kind of like that alert grand parent who hears everything and picks up on everything.

Yep! You pretty much hit the nail on the head about where the mules get most of their little quirks from. They do like routine, and they do pay their handler a lot more of attention similar to a donkey. Thank you again for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please. God bless.

Yessir it does pretty good and has held up descent. I wouldn’t say it’s a “commercial” grade by any means. But it’s built pretty nice. CBN wheels are a def must have upgrade. They don’t heat the teeth so much. Once you learn how to set it, and be “easy” with it…you can get a pretty nice sharp chain. I can still get a better chain by hand filing though. And I hand file a lot still. However, the grinder is quick. And if you have junked out chains from hitting metal or rocks, it makes short work of that. The grinder does shorten the life of the chain, just because you take off more material than hand filing typically. Anyway, hope this helps my friend. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it! Take care and do come again, please.

I grew up listening to two men argue, one was born 1902, another born 1907. The first was trained in using teams of horses at harvest times to save hay. That's what he did, and whence the mechanization of that arrived, he changed to just farming full stop. His young brother who was my grandfather, he apprenticed as a 'carriage builder' (we had no 'buggy whip' makers in the family to my knowledge, but practically all of those brothers apprenticed in the 20's just about as the world was going mechanized). The younger brother took his skills and built houses. So there were two brothers who each started 'with horses', and one farmed, the other built. What one has to realize, is builders want to always tell farmers 'how to farm'. Farmers want to tell builders 'how to build'. And that's the kind of fire side chat I listened to when young. What neither of them ever did, and again countries like Ireland, Australia where we 'clear felled', one percent or less left as wood land, we 'had' these men who were set up, and knew enough to practice forestry culture. But the only thing they didn't have were trees to make lumber with. Otherwise, my guess is if you put both of them in Tennessee, that's what they'd have done.

So what I did when the plantation of Poplars on my grand uncles place had to be felled, I took what rudimentary carpentry skills I'd learned from the old man. And sort of put those two 'halves' of the puzzle back again together. In a way that those two perspectives, the one of farmer and builder had never been reconciled when they were still present in this world. But as a small acknowledgement of those two teachers that I had got when growing up, who could never seem to reach consensus on any project. In some strange way, they're both gone now for many years, but one still remembers things they would have wanted to do, but never did.

That is pretty cool! I have mentioned this before, but I do love to hear the way other people do things in other countries. It is neat! Thank you for taking time to watch and also comment. I appreciate you sharing your experience with me. Take care, my friend and do come again, please. God bless.
