He's too modest to say but Julian is a well respected lecturer and author of books on forestry. He also owns his own woodland. The prices quoted are to the woodland owner once the costs to fell and extract the timber to a roadside landing are accounted for. As a forestry contractor one of the biggest hurdles I have to face is totally unrealistic expectations of timber values by woodland owners.
I think way back in the day white oak was more valuable if it was curved for her majesty's Royal Navy in ship building. Thank you for the video Professor.
these estimates seem low. Here in Oregon, Filbert trees or Hazelnuts, are valued, evidently, at about $13 per tree . . . I think. The largest producer of these valuable nuts in the USA, Oregon, boasts about 3 million plus of these trees, and a local university claims these equate to about $49.5 million in value. Unclear if that means yearly product nets or each whole tree. It seems unlikely each tree only produces about two pounds each year with nuts in shell ranging from $6 to $16 (organic) per pound. A Douglas fir here seems to fetch, for clear vertical grain board for flooring about $9 to $15 a sq. foot. Maybe figuring in labor and shipping equates to your ests. Just seems low. Maybe $450/MBF equates to tons. idk
A sixty dollar fifty year old tree . w0w! I'm amazed Lots of black walnut in my area. I just took one down with the guy I work for there is at least 24feet of trunk and it's probably 3 and a half feet in diameter most likely more.. I wish I could run off with it but the 8 foot cuts probably way 3000lbs. Each
my most valuable tree is 30 pounds lol imagine this guy buying firewood "ohhh that looks like a quarter of a tree" here's six bucks, while creepy music plays

Maybe so. Still under priced. Even for 10 years ago
@@micsomers When are you going to post your tree value video?
@@mrgoodtime87 might do one shortly. In fact I did a very large on 10 years ago called from ash to clash.
@@micsomers that'll be perfect! just getting into the sawmill trade. looking for all helpful info.
£1? I'm surprised. Thought just from fire wood sale alone it would be at least £50
Most of the firewood value comes from the extraction to roadside, processing and seasoning of the firewood. You'll get more like £40 a ton at roadside

You have a really calming voice.

How much is a 121 year old 70’ hemlock worth

2021.. $8+ for a stud 2x4
Last i saw a normal ass 2x4, cheapest at the store was $15 a board.
That wood high as hell now 😭

£20-£30 per ton of douglas fir ???
more like 200-300
He might be quoting whole sale prices, and the tree remover who puts in the labor and transport gets closer to market value.
this guy is out to lunch
Mike O'Keefe,
Word
This guy is completely out of touch. He days this 50 year old Douglas fir = 20 dollars. Get out of here.
Just ask Michigan dnr? Them corrupt tyrants will know.
How poor... you didn't talk about how to value and gave to references to experts... you must like to hear yourself talk... sad
