I got a few shag bark hickory trees that had to come down because of a new gas pipelines going in . I was thinking of milling them up with my band mill, I have never milled shag bark . While cutting the logs to length with a chain saw I was amazed at how hard the wood is . is was wondering how it mills and is there any value in milled hickory .Other options are send it to the local big saw mill and may be get 20 to 30 $ or fire wood (dam is this wood hard) If I turn it in to fire wood I might get 150.00 for a cord of wood . one last thing what is shag bark going currently per board foot green . thanks for any info .
