Yep, I just watched it this morning(had it on DVR). I think that show was recorder last spring, So the market may have changed since then. But maybe not.

A friend of mine works for a lumber Co. He is saying the softwood he was sending to the paper mills is now going to Mills in Canada. He also said, That the lumber is being exported to Europe and China. He has been sending the hardwoods there for years.

I have been trying to get him to start a pellet mill, But He likes using the waste wood (tops, stumps and none Grade A logs) for bark mulch(colored wood chips to me), And cord wood. Easy money from wood scraps.

I used to buy my picker loads of log length cord wood off him. He always gave me a good deal.

Looking forward to more episodes of that show and Also Axe Men on the History channel. I think Axe men is on Moday at 10.00 pm.
