    So, is it possible, that a landowner could get $3,500 for a 100 year old black walnut tree?

    I suppose it is possible, however it would have to be a very large and tall tree with excellent health and no defects at all.

    Last winter I cut a nice large black cherry tree on one of my jobs. I sold the butt log alone for $1,320. It had 220 board feet and I got $6,000/MBF

    Here is one of my log yards from last winter. There is just a few white pine logs there[:D]

    Many trees would be more valuable left standing. A beautiful landmark that won't grow back in your lifetime.

    I have nine huge pine trees that I want to get rid of and can't give them away. Around here you have to pay someone to remove them!! Trees have a radius of 2.5 to 3 feet each and stand well over 40 feet tall. We have a 1.07 acre lot and are tired of raking needles and cones constantly. Anyone in the Arkansas area want some trees?

    Go back and live in your cave toad man .
    With a mentality like yours, you need to stop using all wood products Immediately !
    You can't live in a stick built house, many of your cloths and medicine are derived from wood products.
    You are no doubt uneducated and know nothing of natural resources and renewable resources.
    Oh yea, stop using toilet paper and start wiping your * with plastic !

    I think we are talking about one tree here, idiot. I'm sorry that you have been brainwashed to think that conserving anything is bad.

    Call one of the local treecutters and tell them they can have them for pulpwood.

    I was goin to post a reply critical of loggers and their integrity(or lack of),but I think it's no longer nesassary.

    Are you implying that all loggers and thiefs ?
    Doctors and lawyers are much worse.
    You can have a logging job overseen by a certified forester and
    he can keep tabs on the integrity(or lack of) of the logger.
    Just because you heard one bad thing about a logger does not mean they are all criminals.

    I am not a logger...I am a Forester.
    Just stick'in to my guns.............
    I buy the standing timber, then contract with local loggers to cut and process the trees.
