I recently completed a job involving Derecho (August) clean up in Iowa on a large acreage with lots of timber. Part of this project involved the removal of 10-12 large black oak trees that sustained too much canopy damage. We were able to salvage quite a few logs. We have a ball park 4000 board foot. 3000 of which seems to be perfect or near perfect. . . Stock straight, no branches, no marking/rot/ other imperfections. I don't know if black oak gets used as veneer. . . But some them have to be veneer quality. . . Or darn close. Certainly some cabinet grade wood. There were forest trees. I've tried to arrange a sale to a mill for the homeowner as a courtesy. A local mill offered him less than $500 (they haul). I understand he isn't going to make a killing but I feel like he's being taken advantage of at that price.
Any input on a fair market value would be appreciated.
