Michigan Has Some of The Finest Red Oak You'll Find in The World!

This one majestic red oak tree was a good 7 feet across at the base!

One Majestic Red Oak Tree!


This majestic red oak tree was found in a woodlot located in Byron Michigan a village of Shiawassee County . A selective timber harvest was performed. The woodlot had an abundance of young timber and the promise of a future harvest.

Yes, this tree was included in the selective harvest. Some might say "What a shame to cut that beautiful tree!"  Although we do greatly respect the beauty of it and stood in awe, we also understand that a tree this size has come to the end of it's life. Trees this size very likely have internal issues, as trees generally die from the inside out. If this tree was left alone and stood to die, than all value for the property owner would have  eventually  been lost! (This tree brought an approximate $2000.00 to the landowner).

So, by harvesting this red oak tree, the younger less mature hardwoods in close proximity were released to the opportunity to grow to their full capacity, by  receiving much needed sunlight as well as taking up the nutrients in the ground that the massive root system had been using.

We are sure this tree made many pieces of beautiful furniture. Furniture to be used and admired and handed down for years  come.

A definition of Sustainable Forestry Management adopted by the food and agricultural organization defines SFM as:

The stewardship and use of woodlots and woodlands forest and forestland, in a way and at a rate that maintains their biodiversity, productivity regeneration capacity , vitality and their potential to fulfill now and in the future, relevant ecological, economic and social functions, at local, national and global levels, and  that does not cause damage to other ecosystems.

The concept can be described as the attainment of balance - Balance between society's increasing demands for forest products and benefits and the preservation of forest health and and diversity. This balance is critical to the survival of forest and to the property of forest dependent communities.

"But what about the deer?"

Many woodlot property owners who enjoy the presence of the native White-tailed  deer wonder what will happen to the white-tail if they decide to have their timber harvested. This is especially a concern just prior to or during hunting season.

One Example Of A Timber Harvest

In a recent private 40 acre, predominantly Red Oak forest, the objective of the landowner was to "do some thinning of the larger trees" and receive an income from the product removed. These 40 acres had never been managed in the four generations owned by this family.

Why Should I Harvest My Timber?

As a buyer for the log and lumber industry for going on 35 years  I have run into countless landowners that either don't manage their timber, thus causing the mature trees to eventually topple over, or the property owner calls a sawmill, sells them their trees and the forest is then literally destroyed!
