In our region, the most common species are White Oak (highly sought for bourbon barrels, flooring, and furniture), Red Oak (popular for flooring and cabinets), Poplar/Yellow Poplar (used for lumber and plywood), and Walnut (premium prices for furniture and veneer). We also see Cherry, Maple, Ash, Hickory, and various softwoods.
Log prices vary by species, grade, diameter, and market conditions. White Oak veneer logs command premium prices, while pulpwood sells for less. Check current listings on JMLogMarket to see what others are asking, or call local mills for their current buying prices. Prices are typically quoted per MBF (thousand board feet) on Doyle scale or per ton.
