I just got hooked up with another tree service  :)  Problem is, so far all they've been taking down is softwood  :(  I was told today that they will soon be taking down 52 red pines that range from 12-30" dia., and remain limbless for quite a ways up the trunk.  I don't have a problem getting rid of my hardwood, but I'm stuck as to where to market pine  ???  Anyone have any ideas...these trees are freebies.   I'm going to go look at them tomorrow, so I'll get a better idea of what I'm dealing with.

Red pine is my favorite for construction lumber. I also green treat quite a bit of it.

I don't know of anyone that buys pine sawlogs 'round here  :-/  I REALLY wish I had some land right about now, I could build all kinds of stuff  ;D

Ohso,,, (Oh crap, I give up on that one)

Have you considered kiln drying the best grades?  Propane, direct fire, wet/dry bulbs, fans, $200 +kiln (A.K.A. insulated shed)
