Just as scuffed as yours. I think oak floors look outdated and shitty in person. Again, to each his own

I doubt you can get anybody to buy that few trees.Logging is all mechanized these days and it costs a logger too much to bring their equipment in for small tracts.
I have 40 acres of pine that need to be thinned in Liberty. My Forrester is having a hard time finding anyone that can cut it it. Loggers are backed up from the wet spring and early summer.
To the OP you’re gonna have a tough time finding someone to move equipment in unless you are going to pay them. My uncle has 10 trees down in south BR. He was quoted 10K yesterday for removal.

Would be a good pissing contest to see if loggers or crawfish farmers can come up with more excuses for a harvest year.
Good luck OP.

I got a logger working near me that wants to look at them next week so we are going to wait to burn them.
He wants to look at the 70 or so acres I want clear cut too. He ask if I had any hardwood and I do.
I suspect I would get hosed on any sale now and will probably just wait a couple more years.

Nocolors what do you think about the size of those trees?
The people I bought the land from are 75 years old and they inherited the land decades ago and they played on the land as children. They cannot remember this small stand of long leafs ever being planted or harvested. I haven't cut through one.
I think their diameter is no bigger than it is because the stand was thick before Katrina.

Might wanna have someone bring in a small mill and cut them into boards, but that is gonna cost you, (not sure how much or if it's worth the effort and money)

Just out if curiosity. What would these weigh?

If it needs to be cut and you can find someone, get it done. Prices may be up some in a couple years, but it also may be a dead stand. We offered a guy off I49 a couple of years ago @9/ton (It was winter ground). He wanted to wait, you can now see the dead 80 acre stand as you drive I49.
We are turning down hundreds of acres a day simply because we don't have the capacity to harvest more. 4 crews steady working and could probably put on a 5th - IF we could find employees.

I don't know a wood dealer that has more crews today than they had 5 years ago. Every dealer I know has lost crews. There just isn't enough quota to go around.
