Lumber/forester question

In 2010 I bought an 8 acre woodlot, mostly Ash, Soft Maple, Cherry, and Pine. I had 4 estimates, all which included clearing an area for the house and an area for a small home orchard. The harvesting was to be very selective and nothing under 24” (outside the 2 areas).
1 quote was going to cost me, 1 was to break even, one was estimated to be approx 1k. Those 3 were from companies. A forester gave an estimate of 3-4K low end and was very instructive.
We ended up doing better than his estimate as well as keeping about 500 board ft of hardwood and 2k board ft of pine.Last edited by ILikeRocks; 12-24-2021, 10:04 AM.
