So I have just been engaged to manage a property in N.S.W. (forest management) and was wanting to know what you guys would do with White cypress logs that are about 10-14 inch in diam?
Cheers Rob

BUT - do as Bob says and wait a couple of years.
they are growing to close together and the thinning would be good for the rest of the trees left behind. I just dont want to junk or chip the trees i cut out.
Krunchie, find a sawmill structured for small log processing is your only answer, im sure one of them would take cypress. Good luck with it.Nev
I was hoping that it would be worth me joining the green team....
And asking Sigdi if he could recommend a Machine that might be able to deal with it.
Any suggestions ay wink wink nudge nudge you know.
Cheers
How many logs are there going to be? Maybe joining the green team will be worth your while
FOr such small logs I would look at a small bandsaw mill.Quote:

Agree that Cypress needs to be thinned to reduce stand lockup. My place is in dire need of a major thinning but my free time is scarce (like everyone else's).

10 to 14 is as good as tehy get, once they get larger they ger really pipey nd worth less.
where abouts in nsw, i will buy some (lots) if its not to far away.
The property is about 16000 hectare with a 1/3 to 1/2 cover of forest
where about is it mate?
there are guys i know working forestry blocks out west there cutting down to 8" logs for the mills.
out near the piliga
ill talk to a few bloke i know that work down that way and see wht they might be worth for you.
