Probably not the proper place for this but I'm trying to do a little legwork beforehand so I don't get hosed on this tree. I have never sold a stick of timber in my life so this is new territory.
The tree is a beautiful massive red oak. It had leaves this spring but quickly dropped them this summer. Tree looked perfectly fine last fall but is obviously dying. It is roughly 6' at the stump, around 4' dbh and does not taper a lot to the first Y. The main trunk is roughly 40-50' tall I'm guessing. The two main "limbs" are over 2' diameter. It's too nice to make into firewood!
Assuming I can get it flopped without damaging it, what should I expect to be able to sell it for? A range is what I'm looking for. I know it can vary greatly.
I'm trying to wait til I have a plan to drop it as I highly doubt my little JD 3520 has the huevos required to move the trunk once it's on the ground.
The walking stick leaning on the trunk is for reference. It is 4' tall.
Thanks fellas.
