He he he. But of course! My question though has more to do with timber log
prices. Generally forester tells me that you make most money from trees that
are over 21" in diameter. Most poplars here grow straight and tall. Very few
seem to get to 21" in diameter. So it seems I need to compromise, and find a
diameter that still makes good economic sense.

Also what minimum diameter is necessary to comfortably get a 12" board?

Outside of cabinetry, trim are there other applications that it is well
suited too?

Thanks. Frank
