Hey fellas
my boss has about 7-8 yellow pines that got burnt in a forest fire. Actually what happened was his son and grandkids were out camping on some of his land and they had a campfire that they didnt put out all the way. yea the fire got out and it was a pretty big/hot fire, burnt up a good 2 acres of pines poplars and oaks. The pines that I have in question here are on average 75' tall and 24" around some bigger some alittle smaller. Good saw timber. The fire was about 18 months ago. I went and looked at them after work today and one of them had the bark coming off and it seemed as solid as a rock, some others I tried to pull the bark off and I could not get it off. I was wondering if any of yall though this would be good mill wood after being standing dead for over a year. Remember I am in SE Georgia. Rather humid here. Thanks for your replys.
