This video was really helpful. I’m looking at a property right now, and I’m not relying on timber value, but it would be a nice perk! This will help me figure out a fair value for the property.
Good question, I specialize only in the hardwood space so I’m not totally sure. there may be some but it’s not going to be much and you’d have to do a clear cut.
@@treestandforestryhow bout west TN? I have roughly 300 acres of large white and red oak with a few pines mixed in. Mostly veneer and hasn’t been touched in at least 50 years. My biggest fear is getting ripped off.
Everyone thinks their oak is veneer…i can promise you, you dont have 300 acres of all veneer oak… I would bet my entire life savings and my home, you dont have more than 20 veneer oaks on that property…and thats being generous. I have 40 acres of property…”untouched” which menas, like you, that it was stopped farming 100 years ago and left to regrow
I could tell as soon as you entered the timber, there wasn't a lot of value. If the new owner wants timber value, he is going to need to conduct some prescribed burns along with serval major thinning's (TSI) and the wait about 20+ years for the oak regen to get going. That timber has not been managed well at all,,, if at all,,,,
Thats exactly what i did…had 40 acres with lots of great white oak, hickory…but the entire understory was ironwood, sweetgum, mimosa, winged elm, and i have been thinning acre by acre, burning, thinning…i had insane mast production on my white oaks when i thinned, i have two veneer grade white oaks that are estimated at 10k each…insane crown, no leaders, straight as an arrow….

If there is a wood turner nearby.
Saly and pepper shakers/mills
Does something like this have any pulp value?

Think that'll mature over the years and have hardwood value? Looked like a lot of less desirable species but hard to tell.
Not in his lifetime. Lots of trash trees
Are you in Idaho or what state are you in? I have a few questions and I'm actually going off what my cousin is telling me
Ohio. I will not be much help. I would recommend finding someone close to you if possible as the markers are so much different from area to area.
What state are you in ?
Ohio, I do some work in the surrounding states as well as in Illinois
