I was always taught to keep your stuff in lead with low stumps, unless it's special order wood then all that goes out the window and it's all about the lay.

I love when the pole buyer comes down and will always pick the one down in some hole and give me the specs for something longer then the lays their are so the jack have to come out or the drum line of the D7.

That's the way poles and those sailing masts are but they pay good enough for them it's worth it, then we normally can export a good share of the rest plus a domestic. Seems like some of those special order stuff can be a hassle for what the pay can be sometimes especially if they call one they don't hardly pay you for it.

yea, the freight was a killer on what more i would have made.
we used to get mast orders once in a while......that seems to have dried up.............or, they just pick one out of a load and pay no extra.
 
They pay our trucking with those masts, poles they use to but they were 5' on the butts single log loads 150' to 175' and pay all the tickets but those days are gone they tell us our wood is getting too big for the new specs.

No point too, they were almost doubling our price of export for ours but it's a really tight grain.

some thing killed pine export here. not quite sure but i herd some thing about bugs. i didn't think any of your wood had tight rings? grows really fast? im sure thats not true, our wood grows faster than up north but some has really tight rings.
 
Half way from the hearts it'll have any where from 8 to 12 rings an inch, this is older stuff not the 40 year cycle stuff like the companies are cutting on, is it pine beetle?

We all complain or think we're in big stuff, that just looks like a bad day.
