I’ve got quite a bit of hardwood acreage not far from you if you’re still in Asheville and Sunrise Sawmill is practically begging me to cut.

Let it grow. It will be worth *alot* more for every year you let it grow. I'm jealous lol.

As an aside, I like building furniture and good wood is getting harder to find every year. If you have good hardwood you are sitting on a goldmine some time down the road. White oak and walnut ate going to be harder to find in the future. WO is currently like $4-5 a BF for flat sawn and walnut is like $7-ish per BF. In 10 years it is going to be twice that.

Note: Sunrise doesn't do any drying: They do not have a kiln. You will definitely not get a premium for good hardwoods from them. Talk to Robert Curran @ Sun-dried Lumber LINK(cool but crazy dude) or Beetree Hardwoods (they have a kiln).

I love Sunrise but they do not have the capabilities for you to get a premium for hardwoods.
