They did say that "pulp wood" had to either be a load of pine or hardwood, not mixed.
Had to be 4 inches at the tip and be 16.6 ft long.
Seems stupid to me for those sizes if your going to chip it for pulpwood.
I assume they (the mill) take what you bring them, saw what they can, then use whatever is left for pulp and call it all pulp so they don't have to pay for "saw logs".
All these sweetgums would make good saw logs or railroad ties, timber frame etc. They are big and straight. I had actually thought about buying a sawmill and sawing into pole barn frames. But I doubt I ever would.
Anybody know first hand?
