Yup....this stuff is treasure. Some of the finest wood in the world. People have been building fine furniture from this stuff for a long time. Some of the nicest in the world. Fine musical instruments too. And it sells for big bucks too, when the right pieces get milled the right way.
got this nice crotch piece the other day. Shes a beaut !! 10 feet long. My friend "alaskan chainsaw man" and I will be slabing and drying this beast. from there it will be milled how ever we want. This crotch piece slabbed and then cross cut a half inch under the crotch wil yeild an 8 foot by 28in board with the classic flame shaped grain pattern. Ill let you guys google it. Furniture made from it is pretty pricey. Its a protected species so we can only harvest storm damage or permitted removals. That one fell on a house last week. Helps to know someone with a big dump truck. Natural gold baby !! Just gotta be there when the county is cleaning up. This stuff is dense, heavy, and hard. Time for the big saw. Youtube alaskan chainsaw mill. over 25$ a board foot on that crotch piece.
Irs not uncommon to see furniture priced in the 20-30 thousand dollar range. Unbelievable money for this wood !!
