Any value in this log?

If so, how do you go about finding a buyer.






Fairly good size log. 36" on the big end, and 30" on the small end. Really too big to handle on Dad's small mill.

If you were closer, I'd be interested.  Could make some interesting slabs, assuming there's not a bunch of tramp in there that caused the disfiguration.

Try C-list or FB.  Either post an add or search for live edge slabs or slab tables.  That will eventually work you toward a buyer. 

Or have someone with a slabber or chain saw mill come slice it up.  More risk, possibly more reward.

Probably would make more opening it up. But than again,firewood price it might move.

I'm guessing a lot of rot in there. One branch remnant still there, and looks like a healed over section. Both usually conceal rot.

I thought the same thing until I cut the first log from it. It didn't show in the pictures, but both ends of this log are clear. I would think it would show staining if there was a bad spot in it.

I've learnt that them big old logs offer the most potential, both to make money and to get my head handed to me on a plate when they cut bad.

Someone has to scratch that lotto ticket to see if it's a winner.  Do you want to see if you won, or leave it to the next guy.   ;D
