Ok, I've searched and only found posts 10 yrs old or so on here, so
figured I'd post my own and see if responses would change. I have an
older maple tree in my back yard (a silver maple, I believe) that we
need to get rid of. We had a bad drought last year and this year only
part of the tree came back. So, I'm assuming most of the wood would
still be decent but I really have no idea. Anyway, would this tree be
of any value to anybody out there? Should I try to contact local
mills? Should I post to craigslist or something? I'd love for someone
to get something out of this tree...its pretty large, has a wide
trunk, but understand if I'm probably stuck just hiring someone to
chop it and dispose of it. Thoughts?
