I have a bunch of colorado spruce trees, straight and about 24 inch diameter. Is it worth anything to anyone willing to buy the felled logs or do I make it into firewood and a burn pile for the rest?

Seems like a shame to make it all firewood. I'm not looking to hire loggers just cleaning up fence lines.

I used spruce trees when I built my log cabin in Alaska. It must be OK - at least for log cabins. I built it in '76 and it's still standing - straight and true. I used 20" - down to 10" trees. It was Sitka Black Spruce.
