Tinea -Advocate, October 23, 1996 Page 5 Selling timber for cash WXETI?R - Has a log buyer knocked on your door lately and asked if you were interested in sell- ing your timber? This is the time of year you will be confronted by log buyers. With the crop being har- vested, it makes access a lot easier into your woodlot and prices for hard maple are at an all time high. What should you say when a log buyer comes to the door? Is the price good for hard maple this year? Honestly, do you know what type of trees are in your bush? Ac- tually before a buyer comes to your door, he's already scanned your woodlot and knows the value of lumber in the bush. He'll say "Well, I'll give you $5,000 for all the logs that are har- vestable." What does that mean'? The county has a tree cutting by- law in place that restricts the logger from cutting trees under a certain diameter (approximately 18"). This means that any tree over that diam- eter is fair game for cutting. You should mark these trees that you want cut in your woodlot. Once you have the trees marked, you should get two or three price quotes Qraiser Kneale. $s44/o, 23844. • G1t: rare, ptp/ecr a d1W5*. £ ars urns r. ratel`dw:labls .
