It is going to be a good fall!
Oak logs....
Still good value for white or red oak logs.
Any sales lately?

For 15 years (I'm sure that would go many decades back) with some highs and lows - walnut & white oak have always been "strong". The only tree I've personally seen with volititity is SILVER MAPLE. Roughly recalling lows of .20 cents a board foot and man, I think it got to maybe .75-.90 cents a board foot (something high - just a guess). Big fluctuations. Mainly due to demand from furniture makers like "lazy boy chairs" using in their chairs.We just marked trees for sale and sent out bids today. Used a forester to help pick trees and measure them. He said white oak and walnut are strong but red oak way down and not advisable to sell reds at this time.
We are planning on trying to make a deal with the winning bidder to take all ash trees they want and pay us extra for them. We have emerald ash borer in our timber and will lose them all in a few years. We measured one ash tree 34" diameter 2 logs long.
Not from my experience, but things change constantly.Is there much of a market for ash. I have some big straight ash trees in MN, they pack on the board feet. Never checked up here, some guys like ash for flooring.
Many guys burn wood for heat in my area, wood boilers, etc...
Ash is a popular choice!
