I live in central Oregon and I have a lot of Juniper on my place. It
is a soft wood and I don't put a lot of value on it. To me it is not
worth the hassle of sawing into timber. It is just bearly worth the
effort of cutting into firewood as it burns very fast. Some of the old
trees are pretty knarled and may have some nice figure to them but it
still does not seem worth it.

I keep on threatening to send the kids out to collect the berries so I
can make my own Gin. To bad I don't like Gin!

if juniper worth harvesting? a guy I work with had some large junipers
that he's cutting down are they worth harvesting into timber? on first
thought I think they would have to much pitch and just be a mess any
thoughts?

also has anyone worked with Russian olive before? he's pulling down a
number of 10" that I said I would take
and now the gloat

I'm also getting a 2' diameter walnut tree that has a solid 8' long trunk
