white pine logs

[treeslayer]

I got A LOT of white pine logs, after doing a 250+ tree clearing project in loudoun County VA.
All clean wood, and easily accesible. 16" - 24" diameter, and straight.
Who wants em, I am having a hard time finding a logger in this area.

Please PM me, I need to make them go away.......

rent a shovel and hire a self loader... keep all the money (minus expenses)...

A shovel? guess you mean an excavator....... trying to find a hauler, and a mill is the problem. :bang:

thanks, though.

A shovel is a log loader.

see if the VA Forestry Association can lead you to a buyer, look at folks within 100 miles, they can likely take care of loading and all, whatever you don't want to do yourself, just means less money or work or headache for you.

There is a pulp mill up in Pennsylvania just across the MD border. I don't know what they pay , but they will take stuff up to 24 inches. They will also haul it.
I will find the name of the place if your interested.

I'd heard you folks up there couldn't move white pine to easily, heck, it's one of the main money trees down in SW Virginia.

I discovered that.:msp_confused:
I did some pulp logging 30+ years ago the hard way, and have always done ok logging out on my jobs when feasible, but Loudoun county is a tough place
to move wood.

I appreciate the help, I would give it away at this point....

So why don't you go get'em?

5 hours away and I don't have a self loading truck and, I don't want to run the DOT gauntlet up there.

How much are you getting per 1000 BF for white pine?

ain't none. hardly any logging within 50 miles of me. plenty downstate though.

30 cents a foot, or around 25 a ton pulp.....:msp_sad:

.30/ft is optimistic these days. the market has come back to where it was 8 years ago.
.24/ft is good, .18 is common.
