Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all......
I love where I live....can't think of anywhere else I would rather...like most of us - but damit:bang: why can't I have some "free" pecan, hickory, basswood, Magnolia??? and some of that crazy hard Aussi wood???? Why?? All I see is free white oak / red oak / walnut / cherry.... All I have is pine doug-fir red cedar ...oh wait a little birch. Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhh:censored:
Geography is a great thing (some times) - its cold and snowy here right now but I can fly somewhere warm (go check out a BIL mill), I like navel oranges out of Florida in December and it seprates us from people we don't like. But it also seperates from the things we want but can't have. You all have what i want - lots of supply...lots of demand - why can't this work.....
Anyone making their to beautiful BC this summer? Let me know - I'll pay for a tank or two of gas (plus some of the afore mentioned tree species above and below).
"have large oaks, Hickory, and some of the largest Magnoilia I have ever seen, as well as Basswood...."

Went by an old golf course between Richmond and Sugarland (Texas), just southwest of Houston. Aggiewoodbutchr and I picked up a pecan trunk from this same place about 2 months ago.
Anyway, they have 3 BIG backhoes in there knocking down the big old pecans and have applied for a burning permit (which has not been granted yet.) The super there says help yourself, work safe, and stay out of the way of his workers and the equipment.
There must be 200 pecan trees there ranging from 16" to 72" diameter. :jawdrop: Average size is probably 24'" to 32" at breast height.
Anyway, going back there to get more turning wood tomorrow, but if you want some wood to mill and can get there, pm me for directions.
