FOR INSTANCE
Hazardous fuels and taxidermy snags

What do the two have to do with each other? John Clayton of Texas is looking for shaggy bark cedar, large quantities of stumps, roots and snags, dead or alive. He has a crafting and taxidermy market for "tumbled wood". He says that the shaggy bark cedar is particularly valuable if it ages at high altitude and rough climate - like we have here in Catron County.

He is looking for stumps and roots 4-8" in diameter and will buy from a harvester by weight. He is also looking for partnership with ranchers and public land management agencies to do hazardous fuels reduction work (he will take some payment in wood).

John has an immediate need for 3 semi loads full of shaggy bark cedar.
