Doubt it. But I'm sure it's on the Janka hardness scale if you say so. :-)

VG carries a hefty price anywhere. VG cedar in a stain-grade tubasix is $8-12/lf here, special order. Dunno 'bout VGDF.

You may want to google the word, "hyperbole."

No need. And I never referred to Janka hardness.

I'm not the one who insisted DF gets as hard as oak. In fact, I specifically let it alone because I knew it was hyperbole, speaking figuratively. That was fine with me.

But then some other guy insisted it was, actually. And I call bullshit.

My property is primarily Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock with some Maple and Wild Cherry. I'm mostly taking out the 130' tall multi headed Hemlocks so I can sleep better at night. With some of the Doug Fir that came down on the neighbors property as I was splitting rounds I probably put 25% to one side to be resawn for boxes ect. A tree guy I do some work for hauling chips or excavator work got to log part of an old growth forest. He's got 5' diameter rounds about 6' long that's he is taking to the mill to have it cut for doing his floor. He will also get it kiln dried. Wonderful colors in old fir. I did my living room trim in clear straight grain fir with an oil finish.

Here's one of them coming down.

's a picture of the stump from that tree. Took me 3 days to dig it out and had to rent a bigger excavator in the end.

'm in the foothills of W. Washington so there still some tall stuff. The hemlock isn't worth hauling to the mill, and the Doug Fir is pretty low right now that it's shocking when you go to buy it. I was going to finance a woodmiser sawmill for the tree guy but it didn't pan out do to various complications.
